Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to fountain pens. I’m looking to buy a teal ink. I have two Iroshizuku inks that I really like, tsuki-yo and yu-yake, so I was thinking maybe I should get syo-ro. However, I’m also thinking that it would be worth trying another brand. Can anyone make any recommendations?
I really like ink with lots of shading. I mostly just write personal notes for work and journaling.
Thanks for all the information, everyone! I guess I’m gonna have to get a bunch of samples and report back, this seems like it will be fun!
If you ever need a waterproof ink, check out Sailor Seiboku. It’s described as blue-black but looks more like a dark teal. It’s the only bottle of ink I’ve bought more than once—I like trying different inks—but that’s because I need something that’s more permanent for work.
Sailor Yama-dori is pretty, but very expensive.
I have just ordered Diamine Eau de Nil - maybe that could be something? Haven’t received it yet, so can’t say much about it. But I really enjoy my Tsuki-Yo! 😎
Diamine Aurora Borealis is a beautiful teal. Celadon Cat is also worth considering if you like shading, although it’s much paler.
