Filled up the new Jinhao 20 pens
So far, so good
Ultraviolet / Fluorecent
Another cold and snowy day, so have more Shel Silverstein
Have more Shel Silverstein
Since its a cold and snowy day, and Im still playing with T&L inks
Here’s some Shel Silverstein
Ink Swatch - Tono + Lims Star Light Series fluorescent inks side-by-side comparison
I liked all of these for different reasons, no bad one in the bunch.
Ink Swatch - Tono & Lims - Star Light Series - Aldebaran
There is a lot going on, and it’s wild!
I finally managed to finish the UV Paper blog post
I’ve been threatening to write it for a year now
Ink Swatch - Tono & Lims - Star Light Series - Fomalhaut
Dark blue, red sheen, dark blue fluorescent glow.
Ink Swatch - Tono & Lims - Star Light Series - Quantum
It’s sort of a dark slate teal, but there are distinct hints of both blue and green chromashading.
Finished the Secret Santa letter
I blurred the photos enough so the color and such would show but not be readable
Nearly done with Secret Santa!
Made a bunch of samples, wrapped all the gifts, and labeled it all
Ink Swatch - Tono & Lims - Star Light Series - Antares
Another good & very usable fluorescent ink!
The most difficult part of working with fountain pens
Is resisting the temptation to drink all the yummy-looking liquids involved
My last Fountain Pen Day post (probably)!
For 2025, that is
Had a Prefounte and two Preppy pens to refill
So I figured I’d try some fluorescent inks in them. Works just fine
Inked up my new TWSBI ECO Plum w/Onyx with Tono & Lims - Antares
Another one of their very usable fluorescent inks
Ink Swatch - Tono & Lims - Star Light Series - Comparison between Regulus and E=mc²
Very usable fluorescent inks, fast favorites
Ink Swatch - Tono & Lims - Star Light Series - E=mc²
This one is very interesting. Is it green, gray, or both?
Ink Swatch - Tono & Lims - Star Light Series - Regulus
Got this because it’s blue, fluorescent, yet dark enough to be generally useful
What ink should I use to fill this FPR Jaipur v2?
Decisions, decisions
I also bought a full bottle of Pennonia Napnyugta Sunset
Since I liked the sample
Its never too early, but it felt like the right moment
To get out my pens with Tramol Turritopsis Nutricula
Ink Swatch - Pennonia - Karpatzoid/Carpathian Green
It’s a nice ‘grassy’ green
Ink Swatch - Pennonia - Napkelte/Sunrise
I had high expectations
Ink Swatch - Pennonia Napnyugta/Sunset
This is the first of a few Pennonia fluorescent ink samples
Finally managed to finish the blog post I’ve been threatening to write about UV reactive fountain pen ink
I only went two years between blog posts this time.
Still working out the finer points here but the tripod holds the phone pretty well
Here’s a quick video
Midori MD block memo pad and A6 +Stand notebook are both great for UV
They behave just like the A5 notebook and pads
Last two paper types arrived
Maruman and Rhodia
Little follow up on paper reacting to UV light
Microscope video of invisible ink
Picked up some more Tomoe River paper and a Midori MD Cotton pad
And some Sakura Gelly Roll UV Gel Pens
My bottles of Tramol Turritopsis Nutricula arrived!
