Platinum Classic "Khaki Black" and "Sepia Black" (both phenomenal) and Pelikan "Smoky Quartz" (good ink as far as Pelikan goes) and a sample of Pilot Iroshizuku "Tsuki-Yo" (astonishingly blah compared to Platinum Sei-Boku, which has sheen, is waterproof and "pops" [for lack of a better word] more off the page).

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
Finally found a few vendors (UK, Netherlands and Canada) still with limited stock of Lamy Dark Lilac. Only in cartridges. But since the price plus shipping was still less than in the USA for other Lamy cartridge ink I didn't feel ripped off in the least so went ahead a got a bunch. Now my duo of Dark Lilac Safaris and Twilight Lamy Logo (love the Logo) are groovin' on purple. It really is a great ink.
Also found the NEW 2017 Ltd.Ed. Petrol ink in stock in the U.K. and ordered some. Why is it that Lamy cartridges are SO cheap over there (25% to 50% lower than USA)?

Jfk looks great in pictures, how do you find it in real life? Good solid colour, good shading ink, much sheen?

I recently bought Oster Australian Opal Mauve, and l have to say l am underwhelmed. I saw a Swatch of it by Ana of The Well Appointed Desk, and thought Wow! but when I got it home it was more meh. Maybe it just needs the right paper.

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
I picked up two 70 ml bottles of Pilot ink, Blue and Blue-Black, plus one of Iroshizuku Tsuki Yo. (Tsuki Yo was the first Iro. ink I bought, several years ago, and over the years, I've given more than half away as samples. I liked the color, the ink, of course, but I didn't realize until I was down to the last two cartridge refills that AACK! V! E! R! N! WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE! So I ordered a bottle, and I am calm.) (So pretty.)
Before that, I bought three bottles of KWZI: Aztec Gold, Azure #2 (a gorgeous deep blue), and Flame Red (a dark lovely red). Aztec Gold is, as I understand, iron-gall-lite. I'm not sure how to describe it (not looking at it at the moment), but I've got it in an ED'd Platinum Preppy. It's like carrying an ink-well with a nib, that Preppy.
