Unboxing & Swatching Birmingham Pen Co Inks! 

I have Ambered Adobe inked up for November and I am loving this ink. I have Emerald Fusion and Tiger Lily in my cart. I would use the Tiger Lily for mixing with other inks. BPC has recipes on some of their inks. I am wanting to try mixing soon. It could be what you use the corn earworm for. Try mixing it with other colors in a little sample bottle and see if you get a color you like better. Enjoy your new beautiful inks.

Hello, I would also suggest trying the Dilution Solution mixed with a few mililiters (mL) of the ink in an ink sample vial. That way if you don’t like what it does to the ink, you haven’t corrupted the whole bottle. Enjoy your BPC inks! Freshwater Bog looks great!

I refuse to buy FWP inks b/c their bottles are terrible for my fountain pens. I know ppl use samples or syringes to get around their bottle design, but their inks are not so special or unique I can't get a better version from Sailor or other Japanese ink makers. Not to mention inks like Birminham that you put out here. As a fellow lefty, I can't say I've noticed a color that's better or worse. Obviously sheening inks, nib size, and paper have a big effect. I've learned to avoid smearing... and if it happens occasionally, I tell myself it adds character to the page :)

I am enjoying your video very much, but your music is too loud. Just keep it very low throughout your videos. Otherwise, you are so well spoken, you have such graceful hands, and your voice is very pleasant to listen to. Thank you so much! Oh, could you please zoom in closer throughout. It would really help me a lot. My eyes are almost 65 years old. LOL! Lisa
