Getting broke after spending my last penny on stationery. That's about it.
Do the platinum classic inks turn black after a little while or retain some colour? Thanks.
*THANK YOU!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗*
The rohrer & klingner "salix" is water-soluble ink? If it isn't, how many weeks I should clean my pen by using this ink?
@@user-dd6xu9tl8q Hi there, that ink is iron gall ink, which is highly waterproof. We recommend cleaning your fountain pen every four weeks.
Thanks to noodler’s x feather ink, eventually I can Write my letters on toilet Paper
This guy knew toilet paper will be the one on which legends of human history during corona will be written.

Lmao
Handy if you’re stuck in the loo with one sheet left, and have to poke a note under the door asking for emergency resupply😉
I knew this guy
Who knew this guy
Who knew this guy
Who knew this guy
Who knew this guy
Who knew this guy's cousin
That he actually documented the corona plague on toilet paper. One day, it will be the stuff of legends, he said.
I tend to write on toilet paper more often than normal paper so this ink really seems like what I need. Unfortunately, my teachers wouldn’t accept my essay when it was on a roll of toilet paper but due to not being able to attend school in person, I am now back to my old ways.
The pronunciation on Rohrer and Klingner was perfect. And by saying Pelikan instead of pelican, also in a perfect accent, was a nice touch. Thank you for the extra effort, from Germany!
As a student in German, I caught that too. I am also very inclined into choosing an ink or pen if it's German.
I love the perfect german pronounciation. A big thank you from germany.
Hum kaise sikhe batao
1:44 thats some spectacular german pronunciation!
M b woohga ut klinna solix..
I'm impressed!
Yeah,i could not get enough of that strong guttural German enunciation.
She has German roots.
Honestly I would just love to see someone testing variations of the same ink colour of different brands.
Why are the pronunciations always on point with this channel I love it
Waterman black was my first ink. It works well on everything and I always have at least one pen loaded with it. Great video.
O noes I need more money to pursue my stationery addiction.
The last one got me DEAD! For the worst paper? 🤣!
Very helpful video. Made first fountain pen purchase of the year from jetpens!😁❤️
A very effective and informative presentation. I learned a lot. Thank you.
3:02 if u did that in 2020, that is basically the ultimate flex ever
Absolutely brilliant review!: thanks :)
Happy new year!
I love the Rohrer & Klingner Salix. I have this in my pocket pen as my EDC. It's perfect for documents (iron gall ink stands the test of time) and it has a great color. And indeed it's so good on both bad paper and on the great Rhodia/Clairefontaine.
Don't fear the iron gall label. R&K managed to have a "new" formula and it's especially made for fountain pens. It works great with steel nibs. Love this ink.
Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing about your experience.
@@piolopscl In case you're still wondering, no, Salix dries out to be pretty light (medium tone)! It looks very aged and stylish especially on ivory paper. I highly recommend it :)
I personally recommend Sailor Kiwaguro black ink. It's like Platinum Carbon, but it's easier to clean. I have it in a fine nib and I can easily write on Xuan paper (which isn't even meant for pens, since it's so fragile). I also have it in a Kuretake fude pen and the ink writes just as well as a proper Chinese calligraphy ink.
the first black one.....i thought i was blind, like she says theres no bleedthrough but the back of the paper looked like a hot mess
@O K What does bulletproof mean this comment has been keeping me up at night for a week
@@intoxicatedelephant it means that it is water resistant- water proof and does not fade colour as much over time
@@intoxicatedelephant It means you can use it in school, even in America!
Sailor carbon black is a much better option than platinum carbon black or Noodlers black or x-feather for bad paper. It’s as bleed and feather resistant as salix or other IG inks, but it flows amazingly well, and has been easy to clean out of most pens
Very helpful review. Thank you.
Excellent topic! Thanks!
Just be aware that X-feather is most likely also a pigmented ink. While this has not been officially confirmed, cleaning it out of a pen looks exactly like it does with other black pigment inks , which is very noticably different from cleaning out dye-based inks.
I use Waterman "inspired" blue in one of my fountain pens and it works great on cheap memo pad paper no bleed or feathering. One brand, that you didn't mention, that also works well on cheap thin paper out of a fountain pen is Monteverde ink's Yosemite Green. It's obvious I like writing with crazy inks. But those 2 colors are vibrant and fun. The Monteverde and waterman inks have some great colors.
Pelikan royal blue is also a fantastic ink for a bad paper - no bleeedthrough or feathering with a japanese fine nib or a german medium(pretty wet writing pen too) writing on a fairly cheap 11 y.o. spiral notebook that seen it's better times
X-Feather blue is a superb deep blue from a wet nib too. I don't have issues with it drying slowly on good quality paper.
Waterman’s Serenity Blue is seriously good, it writes great and is super easy to clean out of of the pen.
I generally use 70-80gsm copy paper for day to day stuff, and my work requires me to take a lot of notes. I've been quite happy with how my J Herbin, Pelikan, Sailor, and Pilot inks behave with them. Are they the best? Heh, I wouldn't know. Btw, the first option you listed has quite a lot of bleedthrough compared to the rest IMO.
Can you give the exact names of the inks you mnetioned? Like Pelikan 4001 or Edelstein?
@ ooh gosh i left that comment 3 years ago and a lot has changed. What I learned is that for regular copy paper, you want to use a drier ink to avoid bleedthrough. Pelikan 4001 inks are good for this purpose. I have become more discerning/ picky about paper and ink performance since, and have stopped using copy paper in favour of FP friendly stuff. I can't remember the other specific inks any more.
When you said Rohrer und Klingner it sounded like a native speaker would say it. Not bad
She has German roots.
Good to know my go to ink brand is on here
Happy New Years!
I have the exact same MP with me.... And new year new ink haha I'll get myself a waterman this time. Thanks Jetpens.
I was just going to buy some ink, so this is great timing! I will probably pick up a Waterman ink.
It is pretty good.
Buy it I use one
Never tried Waterman.
Most of my inks are Noodler's with some Monteverde and DeAtramentis inks and Platinum Carbon Black.
Noodler's has more than one type of black ink....I have them all except for X-Feather.
Did you tryed the Red Waterman ink? Its good? Rich red a search. I like R&K, Diamine Ink and Herbin and Krishna Ink. Have some samples.
Waterman is well known for selling low-price, well behaved inks. I bought Inspired blue and Serenity blue and they're both awesome! I also got the Intense black ink. It's pretty good except for the fact it's not that intense😅
Royal Blue, is my favorite colour for a darker Blue, apart Turquoise, which looks astonishing and so aquatic in any paper.
I've found that Platinum Blue Black (iron gall) works well also. Many iron gall inks seem too, although I cannot vouch for them all.
Awesome
Good job please keep making
Although I try really hard not to write on crappy paper, this is good to know! Love my Platinum Carbon Black and all my Waterman' not a fan of Noodler's and need to look into R & K for their off-black shades. Thanks!
Do you mind me asking why you're not a fan of Noodler's ink? My very first glass dip pens are on the way and that is actually the brand I was planning on trying. I've heard so many pros but would love to be informed about the cons as well. Thanks ahead of time if you reply 😊
@@kecola personal preference. The X-feather dries slowly, some don't like the color, cost etc. Noodler is a safe bet for what I've heard.
Nib size makes a big difference. The pens I keep for any paper all have fine nibs. Same ink with a broad or fine nib behaves very differently.
this was a brilliant video!
I own the Pellikan one, but blue. It really is good ink. 👍
I use it in a Platignum Studio(no not Platinum that makes the Preppy) and pretty happy with it.
I use X-Feather and Baystate-Blue as my ‘daily-drivers’; both need a bit to dry but worth it!
Excellent. Thanks
Noodler's X-Feather is what Jimmy McGill used in that one Better Call Saul episode where he wrote an entire legal document on toliet paper, confirmed! 😂
My absolute favorite color is produced by brilliant green solution. Unfortunately, it is ethanol based, so it would ruin a fountain pen. But it's so beautiful!
My favorite black ink for use on ordinary paper is carbon black inkjet printer ink. At about $15/500ml it has the added advantage that it's super cheap. I'd bet money that's what Platinum Carbon Black actually is, but I have not yet had a chance to do a side by side comparison. I figured that if it wouldn't clog print nozzles designed to apply ink in picoliter droplets then it won't clog up a fountain pen, and for the past month, writing almost exclusively with it in three guineapens, I have had zero problems with it. As always, your mileage may vary.
@TRS800 : The thing is that inkjet printers expect some feathering. That's how they mix colors in addition to the pointilist effect. I've used dye based inkjet inks in fountain pens and they feather and bleed EVERYWHERE. I might try again sometime with diluting them to see if that tames the bleeding, when I'm in the mood for another inksperiment.
I think the Parker Quink Blue ink also fits into this group. I use it with a medium point pen and 75g reed-based copy paper and it doesn't bleed through to the other side, nor does it bleed, it dries quickly and the Color intensity is good, but it is affected by water.
thanks for the recommendation.
Why didn't you include Parker Quink ink. That one is a gem. So affordable and so good. The pigmentation is perfect and it doesn't bleed on 70gsm regular copy paper.
Its a must try for regular fountain pen users!
If Black then yes, but for blue, aah, even after 1-2 days I think, it fades and blue colour gets so fade its not as rich and legible anymore.
And its seriously affected by any amount of water on paper
Parker Quink Blue Black is my favorite 😊
I mixed it wth a little black and its amazing..
I agree, Parker Quink is underrated - its excellent quality and value for money
@@debjaniroychoudhury7657 will it be compatible with classmate paper?
0.3 nib
Is there a black ink that would work well with standard moleskine? They have dropped their paper quality some time ago.
I especially like Noodler’s X-feather BLUE. It’s a beautiful deep true blue, smooth and well-behaved, and I haven’t had issues with slow drying even on good paper. It’s bulletproof, too.
I agree about Waterman’s Audacious Red as an intense warm true red. I use it along with Diamine Meadow (a bright yellow-leaning green dark enough for legibility) and Noodler’s Southwest (formerly Apache) Sunset for annotation. I also like the gorgeous darker red, Diamine Red Dragon.
I use Platinum Carbon Black all the time in a range of nibs and so far it has behaved well over months even in EF nibs. A great ink for writing and drawing.
I'm a teacher so I have the worst of both worlds - poor paper and forced ink colours. For that reason I tend to use Waterman Audacious red. I like the idea of the Pelikan, but it looks too orange to me.... for work, that is; I use a lot of oranges for other stuff!
I'm using the Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Red to grade papers and it doesn't look anything like in this video. I can highly recommend it. (Maybe they changed the recipe at some point?)
I'm a teacher and I hate using red to grade papers! I love the purple-blacks and green-blues.
What pens are you using in order of appearance? kind regards from Belgium.
When it comes to decent quality paper (not copy paper but neither Rhodia - let's say something in between) would you still recommend the X-Feather? thank you
I think this is your best video ever. I'd love for you to revisit this list - and maybe feature more inks? I'd be very interested to hear your take on Octopus inks - I don't think you carry this ink at present.
So helpful
Ummmm hi i am wondering when will you make a video about 2019 school supplies tnx
Yeahhh.... think I'm gonna be writing all of my letters on paper towels now, thanks JetPens
Love your fountain pen
What do you use?
Could you label the fountain pens that were used with each ink?
Suggest me a blue ink which doesn't changes its ink colour after writing
Platinum classic inks FTW!
You just love to see it!
Rohrer & Klingner is my favorite ink brand. Closely followed by Pelikan and Waterman.
@MrVm1980 I haven't written with "Salix" yet. But I can say that "emerald green" looks like it for instance.
Great video. I just bought 2 jar of Sheaffer ink, on black jar and one red jar with the intention of mixing and achieving sepia color. Do you think this is a good idea?
Hi there! In general, mixing inks from the same brand is safe. However, we still recommend a bit of caution: test out your mixture by adding drops of ink to a separate container (like a sample vial) and checking to make sure no precipitate forms. If your test ink looks okay, you can fill a pen with it!
@@JetPens Thank you very much for your help.
Which ink is good and affordable for general note taking for students? (black, blue and red color) Waterproof and little to no bleedthrough/ showthrough?
I am new to fountain pens and I bought a pretty one from alliexprs my question is do you have to use a certain name brand for whatever pen you have?
No, you don't need to match the name of the brands for inks and pens. As long as the ink is labeled for fountain pen use, you can feel free to use any ink in any pen you like!
What would you regard j herbin lierre suvage or diamine sherwood - I am not so much on the colour but on the behaviour particularly with ordinary paper and pilot fountain pens
ink is the last to blame for bad paper. In order to minimize "problems" always, but always use fine & extra fine nibs for start and then concentrate on the ink
For all the years I avoided using fountain pens it was always because I thought there was some specialty to them that would make them less compatible with my every day tasks of writing. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have yet to find a pen and ink combination that is so bad on even the cheapest paper that I have that it is unusable. I have never found a combination that is worse than the cheapest rollerball pens I have. (The only time I've found a combination that is unusable, it is because I'm not writing on paper at all, which is solved by ballpoint or marker.) The worst thing that will happen is some nice property of the ink will be lost/wasted on cheaper paper, and for that I reason I would say the best ink for cheap paper is whatever is cheapest. And indeed some of the cheaper brands like plain Parker, Pilot or Pelikan entry lines, all perform well on cheap paper. And one final note is that I write on a lot of cheap paper, and I've found some of the notebooks I've bought even from the dollar store work well enough that my nicer shading or sheening inks work on them and show the full effect.
You can HEAR her smiling.
Good job
I know I'm not color blind... and Red is my FAVORITE color... but... why does it look orange??? Possibly contrast on your part. 🤔🤷♂️
In the wild, hehe...
I bought the noodlers ink form you.
That's a really helpful video but my concern with regular paper and fountain pen writing is not an ink that doesn't feather or bleed through (that's important too, no doubt!), it is mostly the damaging of the nib because of the abrasive nature and level of absorbency of such papers. It happened to one of my M nib pen, the slit of the nib was picking the fibres of the copy paper causing all sorts of problems.
Hi Soultana! That's a great point. Luckily, paper fibers in the nib slit won't cause any long term issues as long as you clean the the slit regularly. You can use a slim piece of brass or other material in order to "floss" between the tines.
@@JetPens Hey! Thank you for your reply! That's true, however in my case I had severe railroading issues even after pen cleaning and maintenance and I believe it was because I was fiddling quite frequently with the tines in my effort to remove the paper fibres. I ultimately had to remove and fine tune my nib. Anyway, my point is that of course you can use low quality paper, the inks that you recommend are great for that purpose but I would highly recommend to use less expensive pens when writing on cheap paper. :-)
So these all really good with 0.2 very fine tips?

Hmmm calligraphy ink for dip pens are different from fountain pen inks and may clog your pen...
What to do none of my black fountain pen work through cartraige give me some suggestions
For me, platinum carbon black feathers quite a lot on crappier paper, at least, more so than some other inks I use. It’s still a great ink, but I don’t see how it’s supposed to be well-behaved.

Is it ok to use permanent marker ink in fountain pens?
I don't have the budget to order fountain pen ink and they don't sell those around here. Only marker ink.
Hi there! We don't recommend using permanent marker ink in fountain pens as it can permanently damage your pen.
i use Sheaffer script black and Waterman Serenity blue , Waterman red, my MontBlanc Green is not the best for cheap paper.
Are waterman, Parker quink, and pelican inks waterproof ?
No, they are not waterproof.
Does waterman blue ink fade after few months????
Im looking for a ink that can be used with alcohol markers. Even my noodlers x-feather leave smudges so im hoping some pro users can give me some advice?

Is waterman ink water resistant?
Parker QUINK ink, good or not?

Its good for daily use but water is the kryptonite for it. Keep it far far away from water or any liquid.

I use it on my nib Pilot Metro. Usually, the papers used in our school are somewhat terrible but it writes okay on it compared to my other inks. Plus it's super cheap!!! My Pilot Black and Blue inks feathers like crazy on some printer papers.
