Jim P.<p>Now that it's day 13 (and 14 in some places), here is an album of short videos of the first 12 days of Colorvent inks drying taken with a USB microscope. Some of them change significantly, and it's kinda fun to watch. I only included a couple of these in my daily posts.</p><p><a href="https://imgur.com/a/2GuQws0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">imgur.com/a/2GuQws0</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Colorvent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Colorvent</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPen</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPenInk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPenInk</span></a></p>
Jame<p>Day 13 of my Solstice ink countdown is Monteverde Mango Mousse. This is an orange ink. It is almost indistiguishable from Diplomat Octopus Fluid Orange, Sailor Manyo Yama-buki, and deAtramentis Document Orange. It has such a delicious name, but is disappointingly similar to the other orange inks in my collection.<br><a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/FountainPenInk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPenInk</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a></p>

Jim P.<p>Day 13 is "Neptune Occultation", which has a lot going on, all good. Blurple doesn't do it justice. It starts purple, dries blue w/purple shading &amp; coppery sheen.</p><p>It looks different depending on how paper shows shading/sheen. The good thing is that I like all of the results.

Erik<p>Why is it that as soon as I open the inkvent bottle and start inking up a pen one of the cats always shows up and wants to get up in my business? It's like they know I'm paranoid that they're going to knock over the ink bottle or step on a wet swatch card and make inky footprints all over. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/catsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>catsOfMastodon</span></a></p>

Mona⁷<p>At the start of the year I had been looking for rollerballs that could take fountain pen ink, and found these generic Lamy-lookalike ones on Shopee. They were only Php39, or roughly about USD0.65 each. They came with converters and do fill like fountain pens, but I prefer to use a syringe for neatness and less waste. They come in 0.3 and 0.5. I have four in 0.5. The ones in the cup are filled with Aurora Black, Diamine Lapis Blue and Vinta Padayon/Scholar Red. </p><p><a href="https://apobangpo.space/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a> <a href="https://apobangpo.space/tags/FountainPenInk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPenInk</span></a></p>

Jim P.<p>Day 12 is "Sunbeam", a dark yellow-brown. It shades well, but that's about the only good thing.</p><p>This is a huge miss for me. I think it was aiming for gold but whiffed. Too much brown (and there are hints of green in there, too).

rhys / kos39 🇵🇸<p>I completely forgot I had this Platinum Meteor pen (with a kaweco clip slapped on) so I filled it with some carbon ink.

Anke<p>I did finish the cartridge of Pelikan Aventurine ink I had in the Pelikan Ineo pen, and refilled it with Octopus Moosgrün (moss green).<br>Pelikan advertises their Edelstein inks claiming they have a special formula that makes writing extra-smooth. It might feel a bit different, but not much, or it might be my imagination, I'm not sure.<br>Colour-wise they are pretty close, but I prefer the Octopus ink. It is a little bit warmer, more saturated, and maybe darker.</p><p><a href="https://social.scribblers.club/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a> <a href="https://social.scribblers.club/tags/ink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ink</span></a> <a href="https://social.scribblers.club/tags/green" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>green</span></a></p>
