I already posted a quick introduction to Anderillium Inks, but here’s a bit more detail about each of the colours, and most importantly, a few comparisons so you can judge what you’re getting against some more familiar inks.
Each of the inks is pH neutral, water-based and water-soluble, and hand-made in-house in Florida. The colours… Continue reading
Tag: ink (Page 2 of 4)
I became a dad (again) at the weekend, so my “free time for blogs” bucket has felt pretty empty the last few days, and I expect that state of affairs to continue. But a few quick updates to make you aware of:
Lamy notebooks: worth a buy
Write Here sent me a couple of the… Continue reading
A commenter recently asked whether I still reached for a particular blue ink, more than a year after I reviewed it. The answer was ‘no’, but it got me thinking about which inks I do still regularly reach for.
Even after I cleared out a load of 70 inks earlier this summer, I still have… Continue reading
I’ve said it before that ink accumulation is a much bigger problem (at least for me) than accumulating pens. Ink is cheap (ish), so it hardly seems worth selling individual bottles. It’s heavy and fragile, so it’s a pain to post. And when you use an ink, you’re actually consuming it — a used pen… Continue reading
I’ve had a few requests recently for ink-related posts. Despite my mediocre photography, I thought I’d share a few inks that I’m really enjoying at the moment — and a few that disappointed.
Winners
Edelstein Star Ruby
After the faded sadness that was Edelstein Ruby, Star Ruby is simply fantastic. Vibrant, well-behaved, non-staining, and a… Continue reading
As is my way, I went to Japan with an exhaustively researched shopping list. I knew which items I wanted to investigate, I knew where was likely to stock them, and I knew roughly how much they were going to cost. But I still gave myself a few surprises.
Inks
Tokyo is the home of… Continue reading
Tomorrow morning I’m off on my next travels: a few days in Miami. Waiting for me there is my new Wahl Decoband Jade and Karas Re-Entry with Ti nib, so I’m travelling pretty light: just three pens, in my Franklin-Christoph “glasses case”. Here’s what I’ve picked:
Conid Kingsize, F Ti, Graf Burned Orange
Conid Regular,… Continue reading
If you remember way back to the start of the year, I set myself a challenge of using only 12 inks for my daily use in 2019. My only exceptions were to be for reviews and other ‘one off’ uses.
So, three months in, how am I getting on?
In short: much better than I… Continue reading
It’s been a quiet week on the blog, but a busy week in my mailbox. Here’re the headlines.
The return of the Conid
In my review of the Conid Regular you may remember me complaining about the slippery Delrin section. A friend on Instagram recommended that I order a separate titanium section, which would solve… Continue reading
What does an empty ink bottle look like?
I watched in amazement in 2018 as people on my Instagram feed actually finished bottles of ink. The #emptyinkbottlechallenge seemed to me as crazy, admirable and impossible as running an ultramarathon.
As of today, I have 166 full-size bottles of ink (excluding sample vials and duplicates), and… Continue reading
