Toucan Royal Blue Ink Review

Toucan! My favorite thing about these inks is they are safely mixable with each other. I have a few favorites and I like to stick to those because I like lighter colors for putting in my super wet writers - they tend to show off their shading best that way. By the way, they are no longer offered in baggies like you see here. They're glass bottles.

Toucan's Royal Blue is much lighter than I expected. Medium saturation, but very easy to blend with and clean out of pens. It looks like a washed out version of a royal blue to me, not rich and saturated, but it does show some shading.

Golden Glow & Shimmer Fountain Pen Ink Fun with Dip Nibs

We all love using our fountain pens for what I like to consider "valid" reasons - at work, writing papers, writing a thesis, writing a book, drawing, sketching - all that real stuff. I don't do all of those things but I do use my fountain pens and inks and even my nicer notebooks for real life things. However, I also love to just mess around and play with inks and papers in my downtime. Here we have Diamine Tropical Glow and Diamine Golden Sands inks; two shimmer inks that blend beautifully on the page. I am using an Osprey Pens Milano with a Zebra G dip nib to mess around with in this video. It's just for fun. You can also just use a dip nib in a holder. All that means is you have to dip more but it makes clean up very simple! Enjoy!

Primrose is a bright, pure yellow - not particularly legible and not the kind of yellow I care much for. It is a good color for blending with or for artwork but I can't find much use for this shade. Even with triple broad nibs! It is a cinch to clean out of pens, though.

Music Nib Fountain Pen Satisfying Inky Fun!

I bought a Warranted music nib several years ago and although I do not use them for their "intended purpose", I enjoy just writing with them. They're smooth, super juicy, and soft, which are all features I love in a fountain pen writing experience. Please enjoy this fun and inky video!
