@ujh Is there any way to see what my most used inks/pens have been over a set period (months, year, etc.) on FPC?

TIL that Imgur is no longer accessible in the UK. I don't use it often, especially now that I don't use reddit, but it was still handy for quickly hosting an image now and then.

New Blog Post! Majohn/Moonman don't hide the fact that they take heavy "inspiration" from other brands, with none more obvious than their P-Series fountain pens. Are they any good? And which Montblanc's homework did they copy for each of these designs? Let's […] [Original post on penfount.social]

Small #SwatchWednesday today. My (maybe) last ink purchases for the year—Cult ink sub boxes not included—are Wearingeul - The Ugly Duckling & Diamine × r/fountainpens - Lady Grey. I think I'm liking Lady Grey a little more as it's a tad more legible while […] [Original post on penfount.social]

[INKVENT '25 SPOILERS!] INKVENT SPOILERS For those interested in the 2025 Diamine Inkvent calendar but are still on the fence, I've added swatches of them all to my site so you can have a look & see if they're up your alley. 6 standard, 1 sheen, 3 extreme […] [Original post on penfount.social]

A wee #SwatchWednesday this week. Now that my Inkvent has arrived (no spoilers!), I've decided to dig out my #Chromatography strips to get a more accurate idea of how they're made up compared to my usual paper towel pseudo-chromatography. You can see how […] [Original post on penfount.social]

I'd been very interested in the new blue Kaweco Sport Piston, as all the promo material portrayed it as a lovely dark blue-grey. But then I saw what looks to be its true colour & lost interest. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good looking pen, but the navy […] [Original post on penfount.social]

Some backlogged #SwatchWednesday today. First off the Sept Cult sub box with some nice Autumny colours, then I picked up samples for the Diamine Forever inks I didn't have yet, plus 2 Fountainfeder exclusives. All scans are up on my swatch site. No October […] [Original post on penfount.social]

Pleasantly surprised to see Sailor put their new steel nib in a 1911 L sized body! The material doesn't look quite as good as the gold nib ones, but I'm still really liking the look of them. Of the 4 "muted" translucent colours, Muted Green is my favourite […] [Original post on penfount.social]

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought I'd take part in #12PenPersonQuestions from @oliveoctopus She had many questions I'd never asked myself before, so it was fun to think about over these past couple weeks. Also a special appearance in the […] [Original post on penfount.social]

- Us fountain pen fans are so into collecting inks, it's easy to forget that the average person only stocks a few Iroshizukus and Emerald of Chivor. - And Diamine Quartz Black, of course. - Of course. With original xkcd attached, because assuming […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

NND! Libraries & Archive Paper Co had a sale on their notebooks, so I picked up 2 (& a notepad). I love Life Noble Note notebooks, so I got one of the special Kleid versions with 2mm grid to replace my current one once it's eventually done. I also got a Life […] [Original post on penfount.social]

Cardinal Pens (Lisa & Brian Anderson from Anderson Pens) on YouTube! And their new website is live! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH2SyW9Oq2g #fountainpens

Bonus #SwatchWednesday time! Diamine Forever Coral Blaze didn't quite hit the mark for me, as I was hoping for a more vibrant orange-red similar to Blaze Orange. So I thought I would try mixing my own! I started off mixing Magenta & Yellow at different ratios […] [Original post on penfount.social]

#SwatchWednesday today! It's been a while since I've posted these so I had a bit of a backlog. We have the Jun/Jul/Aug Cult sub boxes, some bottles I bought, & some samples I generously got from @paradoxmo 🧡 June was mostly calligraphy inks, so I plan on […] [Original post on penfount.social]

I think it might be time for me to finally get a Liliput. The new Kaweco Collection Kolibri (hummingbird) is looking pretty gorgeous! I think I still somewhat prefer the look of the Fireblue, but this one is cheaper & has a prettier nib. I _really_ like how […] [Original post on penfount.social]

The Pelikan Hub page has finally been updated to reflect that the 2025 hubs will be happening! The registration page is up... kind of. It's there, but there's nowhere to actually register on it yet. Should be all up & running by the 24th, but this makes it a bit more real that it's definitely […]

While doing more copying from the book "Stationery Fever", currently near the end of the Pencil section in a piece about The Erasable Podcast, I came across a familiar name-drop @penaddict 😆 Ink for this page is Kobe #57 Himeajisai in a medium nib Majohn […] [Original post on penfount.social]

I'm not a particularly big Eco fan, but man this one looks so good! More photos on Cult's listing here: https://cultpens.com/products/twsbi-eco-fountain-pen-serpentine-with-bronze (Not Sponsored, just where I saw it first.) #fountainpen

[Potential Inkvent 2025 Spoilers] When Diamine announced their new pigment ink line, I thought it'd be highly likely for pigment to be the new ink type in this years Inkvent. I was partially right, I just wasn't thinking big enough. They're not only be […] [Original post on penfount.social]

Long overdue #SwatchWednesday today! We've got swatches from the @cultpens Ink Subscription boxes from April (Green) & May (Purple), along with bottles of Diamine Forever Ink Smoky Mauve, Esterbrook × TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Forgotten Iced Coffee, & Sailor Dipton […] [Original post on penfount.social]

Opus 88 have released 2 new pens based on the 2025 Pantone colour "Mocha Mousse". The Demo model I can completely see as being based on it, but I don't see the connection on the Harmony model whatsoever. That being said, I *REALLY* like the Harmony version […] [Original post on penfount.social]

I'm so happy that Sailor are continuing to invest in the Hocoro line! They've now released a brush tip which interestingly has a connector for the Sailor cleaning kit, which is essentially just a cartridge connected to a syringe, meaning you should be able to […] [Original post on penfount.social]
