Next round cleaned and re-inked. From top to bottom:

- Majohn A2 (EF), Colorverse Brinicles

- Asvine C2000 (1.1 Stub), Diamine Oxford Blue

- Endless Phantom (EF), Colorverse Supergiant

- FPR Jaipur v2 (EF UltraFlex), Colorverse Kilonova

Having some feed issues on the Jaipur v2. It keeps going back and forth between feeding too much and not at all. Probably needs heat set.

Photo of four writing samples on a piece of paper and the tips of four fountain pens next to each sample. From top to bottom they are: - Majohn A2, blue pen with black tip, writing sample says "Colorverse Brinicles" in light blue ink. - Asvine C2000, blue/red marbled pen, writing sample says "Diamine Oxford Blue" in very dark blue ink - Endless Phantom, clear capless pen, writing sample says "Colorverse Supergiant" in red ink - FPR Jaipur v2, clear pen with a flex nib, writing sample says "Colorverse Kilonova" in blue ink.

And as suspected, a couple rounds of heat set attempts with its ebonite feed and the Jaipur is writing consistently. At least it's not stopping or dripping anymore. Can't quite keep up when flexing but that's probably this ink more than the pen at this point.

Also noteworthy is the Asvine C2000 I had to pull the nib and feed and soak the feed multiple times to get all the old ink out. No amount of flushing was making it any less pigmented, even with a little dish soap mixed in.
