Inks And Pens For December 2016
11/30/2016The flowers from a watercolor video prompted my December ink rotation and prove that inspiration can be found anywhere. The colors might suggest summer, but they are making me happy today. And that is what counts.

Thank you. In this lot, two or three of them always work well. The others need the right ink for best performance and I am still learning which combinations are superior. Which pens and inks do it for you?

I love my Pilot MRs and my TWSBI Eco. I have a handful of Noodlers and Diamine inks, but I’m still learning the differences between the inks and how they work differently in different pens.

That’s all part of the adventure of using fountain pens. In my experience, every ink finds a mate eventually though some are rather fickle and switch partners easily. 😉

Yes, I have some pens that just seem “right” with a certain ink. My turquoise MR feels best to me with turquoise ink (Noodler’s Turquoise or Diamond Marine). But my Lamy Safari is happy with most inks I put in it.

Pen and their Inks always make us sooo happy in childhood when we start writing with a new Pen. Really, still today always I feel very good when I buy a new branded Pen and at last when I found the Ink of the Pen is really awesome, it makes me feel more special and more Happy.
