With great in quotes! This has taken me forever! I had a hoot setting it up and doing it. Photographing it not so much.
I used 7 inks:
- Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku (Peacock)
- Kaweco Paradise Blue
- Edelstein Aquamarine
- Lamy Turquoise
- Iroshizuku Amo-Iro (Sky Blue–probably should not have been included)
- Robert Oster Bondi Blue
- Robert Oster Fire & Ice
The seven pens were:
- Franklin-Christoph Pocket 66 1.1 stub with Ku-Jaku
- Edison Beaumont 1.1 wih Paradise Blue (cartridge syringed into a converter)
- Lamy Safari 1.1 with Edelstein Aquamarine
- Visconti Opera smooth cursive italic with Lamy Turquoise
- Sailor Pro-Color Fine with Amo-Iro (again, should not be in here but too late now!)
- Platinum 3776 Medium with Robert Oster Bondi Blue
- Twsbi Mini Classic 1.1 with Robert Oster Fire & Ice

I ended up using eight papers and decided to call a halt after eight. Here they are:
- Tamoe River Paper:
- Clairefontaine:
- Life Noble Notebook:
- Tsubame Fools Cream Section Notebook:
- Rhodia Dot Pad:
- Mnem0syne:
A typo! or do you call it a hando? Also, a piece of fluff. Sigh. The photos are killing me! - Midori MD Notebook:
- Leuchtturm 1917:
The only thing this test did is confirm my bias: Lamy Turquoise is the best turquoise ink hands down! Also confirms my strong dislike of the Kaweco ink. This particular colour is interesting but the ink itself is sludgy and horrible. I have used it in cartridge and extracted ink form in a number of pens and dislike it. A lot.
