Pen of the Day: Pelikan M600 Pink
Pelikan M600 Pink with fine nib. Okay, I’ve talked about this pen before, and again, and again, but it hasn’t actually been pen of the day. So, good excuse!
Also, Fountain Pen Follies is neither so foolish, nor so loaded, as to be able to buy two new pens a week.
Am I the only one who not only doesn’t mind seeing a little ink on the nib, but likes it? Because I do. Ink drips, no, but a hint of ink, yes.
I’m using Pelikan Edelstein Ruby this time, which is a softer red that I adore and that I think really works with the raspberry color of the Pink Pelikan.

Pen of the Day: TWSBI Eco
TWSBI Eco with 1.1 mm stub nib. I picked this up recently because it’s reasonably priced and should be fine for ink testing. Mostly because it’s a demonstrator, and I can watch the ink slosh around. Cheap thrills.
This one has the 1.1 mm stub, which has nice line variation. The ink is a mixture of two green inks. Seeing the ink in the section? Sweet.
A Few More Similar Inks: Stipula, Seitz-Kreuznach and More
I just finished making some comparisons between some inks from Montblanc, on the one hand, and Monteverde and Seitz-Kreuznach on the other.
Here are more comparisons, involving a few Stipula Calamo inks and one from Caran d’Ache.

Conway Stewart Kingsand Is Diamine Ochre
Just to follow up, I recently fell for a lovely ink from Conway Stewart called Kingsand. But Conway Stewart is unfortunately out of business, so Kingsand won’t be available much longer. Because Conway Stewart commissioned its inks from Diamine, I had hoped Kingsand would turn out to also be a regular Diamine ink, so I could still buy it. And there’s good news: Conway Stewart Kingsand is Diamine Ochre.
