Quick writing sample of my currently inked pens. There haven't been too many changes since my last post of pens. I don't write much.

Montblanc 220 with Fake 2016 Lamy Dark Lilac, Ensso Bolt with Colorverse Blue Dragon, Travelers Brass with Papier Plume Cafe Diabolique, Pilot Explorer with Pilot Iroshizuku yama-budo, Taccia Pinnacle with Platinum Carbon Black, and a bonus pen, my wife's Platinum Ginkgo pocket pen appropriately inked with Colorverse Ginkgo Tree.

The paper is Iroful. A youtuber said he gets wider lines on this paper. I don't remember that happening, but I figured I'd test it again. I really like this paper except having to take extra care to keep hand oils off it.

@tallastro @penfount Wait, people are faking fountain pens? Seriously? How did you get that (which sites should be avoided)?

@bastelwombat @penfount

Let me explain. I faked it. Based on experiments that others have also done after the 2016 Lamy Dark Lilac ink went off the market. Mix Pilot Iroshizuku yama-budo and shin-kai, 3:1, and you get something like the discontinued ink. I like the color and gold sheen.

This ink hit the news last year when Lamy introduced a new Dark Lilac. Similar color with a green sheen.

@tallastro @penfount Ohh, that makes much more sense. I misunderstood you and thought you were talking about the safari pen (there was one with the same name as the ink).
