You can only have one ink

[andrew98]

So what would it be? This is partly in response to a comment in this thread.

I would probably choose Pelikan Blue-Black.

I know this is an impossible task for some folks around here, but gun to your head, what do you blurt out?

I like my sheaffer black, but I only have used a few different inks.

Ad of now Iroshizuku Asa Gao as its good at a lot of things both formal and informal

But I have a package that may change my thoughts on the matter on its way so we will see

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, after reading the other thread, I ROTFL before I even opened this one up.

Noodler's black.


... and Kung Te-cheng, because I need a non-black blue or similar for signing.

... and Antietam, because I need a red.

... and Polar brown because I need an ink that won't freeze in the car when I travel for business in the winter.

... and if you expect me to live without at least one Iroshizuku, you are freakin' nuts.

Private Reserve Tanzanite. The color reminds me of the old purple mimiograph copies we used to get in school when I was a kid. Now if they could only duplicate the smell.

[syngent]

You ought to talk to De Aramentis.

I could live with Pelikan Blue Black. I'm mad all the time as it is. How much worse could it be?

 

[GardenWeasel]

Noodler's Black Eel.

 

[cursethis]

Tough. I'd probably go with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo. I love the color and it's pretty versatile.

 

[Mendel]

Diamine Sargasso Sea

Priceless. I used skrip blue for most of the '80s and some of the 90s. It really grew on me, so I'd be ok with just having that one.

No! No ink for you! One year!

Noodler's Black.

Only one ink means Armageddon; Nathan's Black will see you through it.

That said, I'm working my way through a 4oz bottle of Bad Belted Kingfisher mixed with La Reine Mauve and diluted about 1:3. It makes a delightful, well-behaved blue-black, with "bulletproof" properties. Should last me a few years.

Noodlers Air- Corp Blue Black. It's very versatile. Using an EF nib it writes almost black. Using a 1.5mm it writes British green.
