As the titler says - what is your favorite ink, and why? Does it change with the seasons or the use case?
I can start out. My current favorite is Diamine Oxblood. I’m not really sure why this is, but I like the color and it behaves nicely in my Safari. I also enjoy my Iroshizuko Tsuki-Yo, and I really like this color, but I have not tested this much. But I think it will be good in my AL-Star 2023LE Petrol! 😎
I like the Kon Peki from Iroshizuku.
Iroshizuku Yu-Yake, Montblanc Irish Green, Diamond Oxblood and Diamine Aurora Borealis are my most used inks. Usually stick to the same ink per pen since I’m too lazy to do deep cleaning sometimes.
Oxblood and Aurora Borealis are among my most commonly used inks. I also really like Diamine Oxford Blue amongst the Diamines
My favourite is Diamine Sargasso Sea. It’s vivid and stands out, but it’s “normal” enough to use in professional situations.
It’s also an exact colour match for my daily driver pen (Pineider Avatar UR in ultramarine), which is a big plus point.
This is how I feel about Noodler’s Baltimore Canyon Blue. It shades well and even sheens in a wet enough nib, but it’s also “just a blue”.
I really love diamine Imperial Purple 💜
Does anyone know a nice Orange ink? It seems wild that I haven’t tried to find one of my favorite color, yet.
I really like Noodler’s Habanero, southwest sunset (formerly Apache sunset) is also a crowd favorite. I also enjoy Pilot Yu Yake and Diamine pumpkin.
