If I had the talent, I'd look into learning the Japanese ink painting techniques--the artwork that results is beyond beautiful. <br /><br />The only frustration is that the cheaper ink doesn't work for the actual put-a-cartridge-in-'em fountain pens. I'll be sticking with the Waterman ink for those, now that I have them cleaned up. I got the turquoise and blue inks today, and have tested them pretty extensively--they work perfectly, now. <br /><br />I will, however, need something else to write checks with: the inks I have aren't waterproof, and the inks that are, aren't necessarily good for fountain pens.Heroditus Huxleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049569750742829144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-33960030307862819852014-07-31T15:50:34.922-05:002014-07-31T15:50:34.922-05:00My son likes to do sketches, and I think he uses i...My son likes to do sketches, and I think he uses inks like that. I myself know nothing of it, but it sounds frustrating to me.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-72810020568864238692014-07-29T19:07:30.361-05:002014-07-29T19:07:30.361-05:00Yes.

I've heard good things about Noodler's, but am hesitant to try another new ink.<br /><br />Waterman's is good, though. Love the green I've been using. Can't wait to try the turquoise.Heroditus Huxleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049569750742829144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-83970729690747277352014-07-29T19:03:03.818-05:002014-07-29T19:03:03.818-05:00Sometimes it IS better to go with a known quality ...Sometimes it IS better to go with a known quality (like Waterman)... :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
