I totally agree with your comments on Private Reserve inks. I have been using them for at least the past ten years. They flow well and have terrific pigmentation and color selection. I have never had an issue on any of my high end pens. (Namiki Emperor, MB 149, Pilot Urushi etc.) However, the ink lids STINK. They are tough to remove then replace without getting ink around the rim of the bottle and dripping down. I always make sure to have paper wipes with me when I use their product. I wish they would change their bottle design. I'm sure their sales would improve.

Another great feature of the OPUS 88 line's ability to shut off the ink compartment from the feed is for people who use fountain pens for drawing. It slightly increases the ability to shade with that ink. Close off the feed, then draw scratch marks on scratch paper until you get the lightness you desire.

Maruman Mnemosyne was the first line of notebook I tried when I switched to fountain pens because I wanted a spiral bound notebook with a reasonably hard cover. (I need to be able to take notes in an A5 even when I can't put it on a surface.) Even now, after trying other papers and notebooks, the 105 is my EDC.

Listen…I’m still dreaming about the ST DuPont Line D I tried at a pen show. If I can find one I like under $500 AND my bank account can handle it, I will own it. The smoothest writing experience I’ve ever had. I will be looking at the next pen show I attend. Definitely underrated. Thank you for showing the infinity inks and the bottles, I’ve thought about them. I avoid private reserve because of the jar-o-ink is really too much for me to look at. 😂 Not that I don’t own a jar. Please make a video comparing black inks. Jacques Herbin Scented Inks should not be overlooked, specially the ones in the 50ml bottle-Noir Inspiration is my favorite black ink, period. Thank you for the video! Happy Thursday everyone.

I have recently converted to Opus 88 pens. They look great, write well and are easy to clean with a syringe. What I like most is the filling system. I find it less messy. The grip doesn’t get near the ink bottle so no need to wipe it off. I also like not getting a flooded nib from filling. I am now more open to trying ink in weird bottles, Private Reserve especially.

@CinkSVideo 24 дня назад

I’ve been a user of Apica notebooks for over ten years now. They are indestructible too. I have one that has been thrown from bag to bag for years and is still holding together. The stitched pages and simple binding hold up to all sorts of abuse. The CD11 size is perfect for a standard short story length. I also use this size for my commonplace notebook. I get nervous if there isn’t a spare one ready to go. I love Jacques Herbin inks! They seem to work great regardless of pen and nib size. Throwing that ST DuPont up there has me thinking I need to drop some coin soon. I like these videos to remind us of some of the less often profiled products.

@differentkindofGEKE 20 дней назад

@K_rye 11 дней назад

I chose a Maruman Mnemosyne 197 to bring on a two week trip because it would fit in my purse and because of the sturdy cover (really sturdy) and that it was ring bound. The paper though, made me a fan for life. Silky smooth and zero bleed through. It's technically a to do notebook, but I just ignored that aspect and was writing on both sides of the pages. Very little of the dark ink I was using even showed through (using fine nibs).

The Mnemosyne little wire bound pocket notebooks are killer and the price tag is even better. R&K Alt Gold Grun is one of the GOAT inks in my opinion.

Apica paper is nice but if you use sheening or shimmer inks, they do not show up like they do on Tomoe River paper. There's also a lot of bleed through on swatches.
