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. Iβm 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! π
I like the Kon Peki from Iroshizuku.
Kon Peki has never let me down, though I have been enjoying Robert Osters Sea Green lately too.
I like blues too - but Iβm surprised how well I enjoy red/burgundy inks π€©
I like those Robert Oster inks. My fave is probably Great Southern Ocean.
Waterman inks may be easy to overlook because they are moderately priced and have a reputation as safe, well behaved inks. But I really like the shading I get from Serenity Blue with all but my finest nibs.
Big fan of Iroshizuku inks. My favorite is Yama-Budo.
Fun mixing recipe from u/migo984: make a faux Lamy Dark Lilac by mixing 3 parts Yama-Budo with 1 part Shin-Kai.
My favourite ink changes every few months. Right now Iβd say itβs Wearingeul Human Issues, but I am starting to get really into Colorverse Rainy Day.
