I’m not the biggest fan of grey #fountainpeninks, but doing some drawing stuff for a friend and need to break out the Earl Grey. Taking it for a test ride first in the Shibui North Tarot Ranger with medium #6 bock nib. I only have two metal bodied #fountainpens. I find them a little unwieldy. However, Ruth’s pens are irresistible… She’s doing a collaboration with Onoto. Just saying 😉

Yes, absolutely worth the hassle. There is really not much of a hussle.
1) It is better to use a demonstrator (clear body) pen for those inks as shimmer particles will settle on the bottom of the liquid (if you keep your pens in horisontal position than on a pens side) and every time you want to use your pen just move it around a little to put shimmer back into the liquid. Don't shake it hard.
2. For a better flow - medium nibs or larger.

I managed to place a JetPens order yesterday that contained no pens, ink, or paper for myself, only for a gift (plus a rollerball pen my wife wanted). Proving I am occasionally capable of self-control.

Anyone happen to know if a TWSBI diamond 580 ALR can fill directly from a TWSBI 18ml bottle (without the snorkel)?

I don't have any TWSBI ink to check. I know the Diamine 18ml bottles are too narrow.

Was eyeing an ink sample pack as part of a gift for someone but it would be silly if the pen couldn't fill from the ink.

Journalize Dark Matter

This is a great "royal blue" ink that's not at all boring, because it has this emerald green shimmer. Writes well and has some nice depth. This is my first experience with Journalize inks, and I'm quite impressed! Journalize is a stationery store in Hong Kong, here they are on IG: instagram.com/journalize_store
