hello everyone it's stephanie manley and i'm a fountain-pen freak and today i
want to show you why I really don't like purchasing products from Amazon so I
actually had a ton of let's say a ton I had a couple of Amazon giftcards and I
thought what a great thing to do would be to expand my fountain pen ink
collection because I don't have enough and in doing so I really kind of
uncovered why I really hate buying fountain pen supplies from Amazon so
Amazon is great I love Amazon I shop at Amazon more times than people should
each week you know a couple boxes show up I buy groceries from Amazon and buy
pet food all kinds of things but I hate buying fountain pen ink from them or
really um fountain pen supplies in general because these are products that
I actually care about and it bothers me that I guess this is Black Swan and you
can't really tell that because ink came all over the bottle alright this one
wasn't as bad now the bottles are still full oh well the lid is completely
correct on this one so that's awesome um that's probably not something I can
necessarily salvage or work with okay so this lid came cracked this one came in
all mushed up as well oh that's interesting that that hasn't created a
leak yet and this lovely IRA's ooh Kuh bottle has brown ink on it
it looks like the package was a little rough but you know the ink is fine on
the inside so you know it looks new it looks like all the rest of them that I
have there are just a complete that I have about this
so we'll go ahead and swap these out and I'll show you what they look like these
were just some colors I keep like um a list in Evernote of what I would like to
get so here is my ink swatch system so these are actually based
called baseball card holders and what I actually did on one side is cardstock
but I don't really like doing them all with cardstock because you don't see the
nice sheeting so for example these on the other side take this out our actual
done with Tomy river paper and you can see that you actually get more sheeting
and it looks a lot better so here's nooglers Bay State flutes
gorgeous gorgeous color this is the cardstock side yeah and this is the Tom
y river paper side so the colors are just better a great example is the
cactus Noodlers cactus fruit so this is cardstock on this side and this is at my
River paper on this side so I think I got those first so this is my ink system
of how I keep my samples so I bought these baseball card holders at Hobby
Lobby and then I cut two and a half by three and a half inch cards and I did
them both with card stock and Tomoya river paper now this is the tomboy River
paper and I like it much better you don't get to see the sheeny that I have
a mine and but you do get to see that there's a nice variation whereas when I
do it with cardstock it's a very flat it's a very flat appearance but I will
say that the cardstock dries in milliseconds where the other takes a
really long time to dry the two my rubber paper you have to wait for your
ink swabs to dry a little bit okay so I've got three noodler so let me
grab three cards card stock and then I have this three time water on the paper
all right so I have Lexington Grey and I always write the title in Noodlers black
and then I just grab the ink you guys have to be careful with nooglers cuz
it's super full and wow that okay that looks great all right you can see the
cardstock just pulls that up no problem at all so I'm gonna go ahead and spoil
the Tom white river paper as well and you'll see that there is a bit of a
difference right there so that's kind of a nice change from just black so again
you can see a little bit of difference right there alright so there's that back
to the side it's a nice change from the other this nooglers brown right Noodlers
golden brown sorry okay
let me go ahead and do the tomoe River paper one it is a well oh you can hear
my dog is uh playing with one of her squeak toys no that's a really nice
Brown I really like that okay dad is going into a pen all right so just my
new thirst brown and the tomboy and there's a little bit more for the
cardstock again the cardstock it dries and you get the sense of the color well
you don't get any in depth you don't get the richness of the color so and this
was a believe nooglers Black Swan that I'll do next
I always keep one these pilot metropolitans eat up with the nuclear
black because you can write checks with it nobody can
oh this is an example why this paper is not great to write on every day so I
already smushed that up okay let's try it again
that's why that will never be regular writing paper for me okay let's try it
again
that's very Brown I wasn't expecting something to be so
we're Wernicke I thought this one would be more pink
alright so that's a Midler's I did it again black swuan and we'll see what it
looks like on cardstock that's that's more interesting than cardstock alright
there we go there's that one I have two pens this week that I washed out is
really washed out for but I'm going to try to keep a few less in rotation
I have probably ten or twelve in rotation right now I typically empty two
or three and then we'll do the airbrush Asuka Yama puto as well
and then the Tama River paper somehow
okay so we're done with our
there is a gorgeous color I love that
okay I can see that one that one's gonna get inked up gorgeous color there and
we'll do it on cardstock as well
gorgeous color alright reminds me of an acraman color
that I had that I can't think of its name off the top of my head so perfect
so I think um I'm definitely going to ink up my twsbi eco right here with
this expel a bit more that water gorgeous color
so those are my latest acquisitions from fountain pen ink and again it's probably
the last time I'm gonna try to buy ink off of Amazon I don't mind doing it for
somebody like Noodlers because you know they're Midler's price is pretty static
at $12.50 a bottle so I'd like to use that and here's kind of a fun pen it is
a actually right with this move I tab it it is a chin Hal I think it is either
the 450 or the 150 but I did take that nib off and I put on a Goulet nib which
I believe is a yobbo nib and that pen I love because it seems to be fairly
indestructible I take this one to the office all the time because I'm never
worried about anything happening to it so yeah my butoh for that one and then
I'm gonna do the golden brown and then I'm going to file a complaint that
shipping because it's correct okay but there you go so those are my recent
purchases again on Amazon don't necessarily recommend them I would
always suggest that you buy from Penn's store I should have known better
and I just opted to make a bad purchase online so anyway so I hope you enjoyed
this video let me know in the comments down below what type of new thinks you
like or perhaps some of your recent and inked positions thanks so much for
watching
