I still can't decide and continue to use all fo them regularly. Whichever one I am using seems to be my favourite, until I use one of the others. So many inks, so little time.

I do like the Pelikan Brillant Brown.

Glad you enjoyed it. I haven't tried the Terre d'Ombre yet. I will try to get some and do a review of it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Welcome! The gum Arabic could help but I think it was just bad nibs. The finer nibs in that set have work well. The Speedball nibs have worked well in all the inks I have tried in since.

I'm glad you found me too. Welcome.

Thanks @aresaurelian! The blue was a costume store spray that washed out easily.

Well, to be honest, I did have a bottle of Bay State Blue at the time. I do now and I will share my thoughts and experiences with it in an upcoming video. Stay tuned.

Thanks.

It does look dark in this video and I have found that it looks darker using this pen than it does when used in my Jinhao 9019 for example. I actually use this ink almost daily and really enjoy it. In a coming video I will be looking at TWSBI's Blue Black which is rapidly becoming on of my favourite inks.

Thanks. I love using coloured pencil to create "fine art". It is an incredibly flexible and accessible medium and lots of fun to work with.

Thank you!! This is why I did this video. I love coloured pencil and want to see it used more in fine art. I would love to see how you make out. I am working on creating an online course in coloured pencil. Let me know if you are interested. Either way you can reach me at pencils@gwebsterstudios.com if you have any questions or need a hand.

You are not the first to tell me that!

Yeah, that is sometimes an issue but I agree they are nice inks and I have several that I use regularly. I use TWSBI inks successfully on regular school loose-leaf paper everyday and no issues with bleed.

I forgot to say thanks for the video! It was nice to see these four inks share a page. :)

American Blue is certainly a wonderful blue. It is the blue currently in my journaling pen and I am enjoying it. So many blue, so little time.

The Waterman is a beautiful ink and one of my absolute favourites. Reasonably priced too.

@@g.websterstudios6674 And do you suggest me fine nib parker 45 flighter deluxe? 1980-2000 model.

I really is a great journal cover. I still use it daily and love it.

Thanks.

Even though I now have a lot of fountain pens, this one remains one of my favorites.

It is great coffee!😁

Good suggestion! Thanks. I'll see what I can do. I'm up to my ears at the moment but I'll see if I can do it within the next month.

I'm working on a video on Brown inks and then I'm doing one on Blue Black inks. If life does interfere to much, within 3 or 4 weeks.

This is Gordon's wife responding: PLEASE DON'T FEED THE BEAR!! I know he has looked at these pens and now he will probably buy them based on your comments. He does not need more pens regardless of what he says.

It is an intense blue.

Yeah the Syo RO is a beautiful ink. I'm not sure what it is about it that make it stand out above other similar coloured inks, but it really does. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Trouble Maker inks when you get them.

@@g.websterstudios6674 The Purple Yam is a very dark purple. I like it quite a bit. Seems to vary depending on paper, somewhat. The Opon Channel Blue is a nice blue/green. I do see more shading with that one than the Purple Yam.

@@RJayRoberts Sorry for the delay in responding. I am really enjoying the Opon Channel more than I thought I would. I look forward to trying the Purple Yam (and a couple other of their inks). It is an interesting line of inks.

Not sure which other ink you are refering to, All four are good inks, so to say one is "better" than the others would be difficult. If you are asking which is my favourite, I'm not sure that is any easier. It really depends on which one I'm using at the time. I enjoy them all. The Waterman is certainly a good inkand one I use regularly. Hope that helps.

@@g.websterstudios6674 yes it does thank you so much

I don't remember it being this much fun in school though! I'm glad you are enjoying it.

Glad you found it helpful John. They are making some REALLY interesting inks and pens. And it is great to support the "home team".

Welcome to the rabbit hole Andrew. I was making some notes a few minutes ago and it is still such a joy with a fountain pen. Now look at all the different inks you have to try. Another joy!

@@g.websterstudios6674 Also not having bad hand cramps so I can write longer. It will definitely make me look forward to writing more.

@@Andrew-em7py Enjoy.

Thanks for your comments. The Ferris Wheel inks are really special. I'm not familiar (yet) with the Montblanc blue but look forward to trying it. There are so many blues yet to try. I am enjoying making this series and hope to have some new videos very shortly.

@@gordonsviewsreviews3360 The MB permanent blue is a blue black. I use it for work as it can’t be tampered with and I need that for my job. Noodlers Bay State Blue is just vibrant-but limited to the free pen that came with the ink. I agree-so many blue inks of all hues to try.

Thanks.

It really is and it remains one of my favourites. I use it almost every day.

Thanks Anna. I have been surprised more than once at how different an ink can appear depending on which pen it is coming from.

@@gordonsviewsreviews3360 20 years ago, my Mom got me a set of pen tips with some quills. The tips look like they might be brass or something. I've only tried them with one type of ink (Levenger). It didn't even occur to me that ink can look different when used with different pens.

Thanks Anna. They really are nice aren't they?

Thanks Kevin. I have been a little (okay, a lot) slow at getting the next video out but it will be posted in early January. I'll be looking at blue-green inks.

Thanks Kevin,

Hi Lakshya. You are absolutely correct. I use the TESBI Sapphire Blue all the time and that was stuck in my head and I didn't notice until I was editing .

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these inks LeMarr. Personally, I find the Noodler's too bright for my tastes but I was pleasantly surprised by the Emerald Green. It does look good in the writing samples.

Hi Muhammed. The pen is a glass dip pen I purchased on Amazon. I would give you the link but this specific pen is no longer available. However there are still lots of glass dip pens listed on Amazon. Hope that helps. If not, let me know.

Thanks for sharing. I haven't tried any of the KWZ inks yet but they have some great colours. I look forward to trying some of them soon.

Limited Edition I'm assuming? And I agree with Forest taking forever to dry. It can get annoying

Didn't realize I was raving about Kon Peki. It is actually an ink I don't use much. I used it in this test BECAUSE so many people do use it and it would maybe give them a better idea of how the pen preforms.

You're welcome Bill. The nib holder I am using is from a set I purchased on Amazon. Here is the link. ( www.amazon.ca/sspa/click?ie=UTF8&spc=MToyMjY4NTkwMzEwMjQyNTMyOjE2NjUwMjA2OTA6c3BfYXRmOjIwMDA2NTgwNTQzMzI5ODo6MDo6&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&url=%2FHethrone-Calligraphy-Fountain-Writing-Beginners%2Fdp%2FB07PVLYZVK%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1_sspa%3Fcrid%3D3GUQEY4XU6O1U%26keywords%3Ddip%2Bpen%2Bset%26qid%3D1665020690%26qu%3DeyJxc2MiOiI1LjIxIiwicXNhIjoiNC4xMyIsInFzcCI6IjMuNDYifQ%253D%253D%26sprefix%3Ddip%2Bpen%252Caps%252C196%26sr%3D8-1-spons%26psc%3D1 ) As you will have seen in the video not all the nibs work well. I find the broader nibs will release whatever ink they are holding on first contact with the paper, resulting in the blotches you saw, then dry out completely. It may just be me. I will continue to see if I can get them working properly and I may do a video on it later. In the meantime, I think you can do better by selecting a nib holder and buying quality nibs separately. It will likely be cheaper and will definitely be less frustrating. Let me know how it works out for you.

Well, either way the TWSBI is a gem! Thanks for the feedback Roland.

I can say it in my mind easily but when I open my mouth... Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Christopher. If I had taken all the money I have spent on "cheap" pens and saved it, I could afford one or two high end pens, but then I would have missed out on all the fun I have had along the way. Glad I could help you decide where to waste some money. ;-)

Hi Pablo. It is a medium nib, however you can order the pen with a fine or an extra fine nib if you wish.

Yes, they appear very close in the video but are not quite as close in person. The Pelikan Royal Blue has a slight purply tint to it while the Parker tends to be a bit paler than the Waterman. The Private Reserve is a deeper blue.

Glad you like it. Even though I struggle to pronounce it I love that Tsuyu Kusa ink.
