I bought an old bottle of Skrip Washable Purple last week. I haven't yet tried it.

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
I have a bottle of Montblanc Twilight Blue and a bottle of Franklin-Christoph Tenebris Purpuratum which should arrive tomorrow. I really like the color, shading, and flow properties of the Franklin-Christoph Brown 732 I bought a few months ago. I'm excited to try the new purple.

I have it - it's a nice ink. I think you'll enjoy it. The FC Dark Chocolate and Loden Green are worth trying too.Originally Posted by Scooby921

Waiting on two from Franklin Christoph: "Loden" and "Terra Firma".

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
Sailor Miruai. I don't think this color in the current Sailor lineup gets enough respect. Slight red sheen to keep it interesting. Sure seems to perform well! Very smooth, and even a very wet line is dry on Tomoe River in 30 seconds.
Waiting on R&K Magenta--wondering whether I can use it as a King Phillip Requiem replacement in pens that I'm not willing to use Noodler's KPR. For KPR, however, I bought a King Phillip Requiem Ahab specifically for namesake ink. The Charlie pen works well with it but is a little too boring. I can write with the "flex" nib on the Ahab or swap in a stub or something.

Re: What Are Your Recent Ink Acquisitions?
I just found in a mont blanc boutique near my house a bottle of Leonardo Da'Vinci red chalk and another one of winter glow!
Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
Diamine "Kelly Green"
J. Herbin "Bleu Pervenche"
Iroshizuku "Fuyu-syogun"
They're the only inks I have, for the time being. I hope to get more in time. (when I can afford it)

Lucky you. My kingdom for some Leonardo Da Vinci red chalk ink! That ink rules.

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
The price of Noodler's has escalated locally so I made do with MB Corn Poppy Red.

Re: What Are Your Recent Ink Acquisitions?
To my eye, the Franklin Christoph "Terra Firma" I just received looks very like the MB Red Chalk. Maybe someone with a finer color sense could weigh in on that but it looks the same in my Ink Log...Lucky you. My kingdom for some Leonardo Da Vinci red chalk ink! That ink rules.

And these new inks. A pre-release from Kyoto.

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
As requested here are some quick swatches of my new inks that arrived yesterday and today.Please post samples.
The Graf von Faber Castell inks are gorgeous. They have a lovely vintage feel to them, and of course the Art Deco-style bottles are stunning. Better than Iroshizuku, Caran D'Ache, Montblanc and Sailor diamond bottles.
The new Japanese inks from Kyoto are intriguing; I need to try them out in pens. The black is especially fabulous. On the face of it, it is a quite intense flat black but it dries with an amazing copper sheen. I took a picture of it juxtapositioned next to Waterman Intense Black, which is a flatter, more one-dimensional colour and you can see the difference the copper sheen makes. This one is already in a pen and it exhibits the same behaviour when writing with it. Very nice indeed.

Wow...the Japanese inks are amazing. The yellow is very different. I'm not a black ink gal, but boy the Japanese black is incredible. Thanks for posting.As requested here are some quick swatches of my new inks that arrived yesterday and today.Please post samples.

My head said no, but my heart said yes. Heart wins. Flawless victory. Mortal Kombat references aside, Massdrop had an offering for some of the Iron Gall KWZI inks...and you can probably guess what happened next. I'm really starting to think that I have an ink problem, instead of a pen problem.
Inks purchased:
KWZI Gummiberry
KWZI Gold
KWZI Blue-Black

Can you please tell me where to buy these from?
I know someone in Tokyo who can source these in case they don't ship outside Japan.
Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
Platinum Blue-Black. A total winner. I had a coupon for the books store. They had that and Sailor Jentle Blue Black and my impulse is always to go with Sailor but something told me to to give the Platinum a whirl as it has a small amount of iron gall content.
Yes. Probably my favorite Blue Black so far other than MB JFK (I just love that color).
Better than both the Diamine Blue Blacks I tried recently, the Sheaffer Blue-Black and better color than the Noodler's FPN Starry night (which is one of those inks that just looks black unless you put it next to a black ink, though it had great flow and lubrication).
Platinum is one of the few Blue Blacks that is not just charcoal with a touch of blue but is genuinely a lot of blue in it. It goes on straight up bright blue but dries to a darker dustier blue and if anything might not be black enough for some. We'll see how it looks in a day or so if it oxidizes further. But it is old school Blue(then)Black and not just grey or blue. Like the ink I remember from old.
Nice flow for an Iron Gall.
Have it in a medium stub right now. Looks great on the page.
Honeymoon phase but Platinum Blue-Black is a keeper.
