Ink of the Week – J. Herbin Lie de Thé

John Bosley May 10, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink Leave a Comment

This week we’re going to take a look at J. Herbin Lie de Thé. Similar to S.T. Dupont Royal Blue, this was a “souvenir” ink that I purchased when I was in Paris (although you don’t have to travel to France to get it, as it’s easy to find and purchase regardless of where you live). I had heard good …

Ink of the Week – Diamine Teal

John Bosley April 17, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 13 Comments

This week we’re going to take a look at Diamine Teal. When I lived in San Francisco, I purchased this ink at a local shop and used it quite a bit for a few years. I haven’t used it recently due to so many other ink purchases, but remember really liking it, so let’s see why I liked it so …

Ink of the Week – Robert Oster Plumb Nut

John Bosley April 14, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 6 Comments

This week we’re going to take a look at Robert Oster Plumb Nut. I originally put this ink on my want list after seeing it in a few different posts on Instagram and thinking to myself, “that’s a pretty great color”. I’m sad to say that when I did finally get a bottle for myself, I think I only used …

Ink of the Week – Sailor Ink Studio 573

John Bosley April 12, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 12 Comments

I know that we all have at least one, and for me this is it. That’s right, I’m talking about a bottle of ink that you purchased and never even used. This week we’re going to take a look at Sailor Ink Studio 573. A while back I was in Washington D.C. for work and made my first trip to …

Ink of the Week – Kaweco Smokey Grey

John Bosley April 5, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 6 Comments

This week we’re going to take a look at Kaweco Smokey Grey fountain pen ink. I first tried this ink while doing my Great Grey Ink Comparison and it was one of the few grey inks I liked enough to buy a bottle of. I have a lot of other grey inks that I also use and enjoy, but this …

Montblanc Swan Illusion ink review

Ink of the Week – Montblanc Swan Illusion

John Bosley March 28, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 8 Comments

This week we’re going to take a look at Montblanc Swan Illusion. This ink was a 2018 limited edition, so is pretty tough to find these days. I was at the Colorado Pen Show that year and a vendor had a bottle of it. I have always liked weird inks and, based on some reviews I read, this one seemed …

Maruzen Athena Renga fountain pen ink bottle cap

Ink of the Week – Maruzen Athena Renga

John Bosley March 21, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 4 Comments

This week we’re going to take a look at Maruzen Athena Renga. For those who may not be familiar, Maruzen is a bookstore in Tokyo that has its own line of pens and inks. Fude Fan has a nice writeup of Maruzen’s 150-year history if you’re interested. I acquired this ink when I lived in San Francisco. A member of …

ST Dupont Royal Blue fountain pen ink

Ink of the Week – S.T. Dupont Royal Blue

John Bosley March 14, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 4 Comments

This week we’re going to take a look at S.T. Dupont Royal Blue ink. I purchased this ink at Mora Stylos while I was in Paris a few years back. I really wanted to get some sort of souvenir, but couldn’t afford a new pen, so I figured a bottle of French ink would work just as well. The bottle …

Sailor Studio 123 ink review bottle

Ink of the Week – Sailor Ink Studio 123

John Bosley March 7, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 2 Comments

This week we’re going to take a look at Sailor Ink Studio 123 (or from now on, just Sailor 123). You may remember this ink from a few years ago when, as one of the first and most prominent multichromatic inks available, it was pretty much the biggest thing to happen to fountain pen ink in a really long time. …

Laban Athena Grey Fountain Pen Ink bottle

Ink of the Week – Laban Athena Grey

John Bosley March 1, 2023 Fountain Pen Ink 8 Comments

This week we’re going to take a look at Laban Athena Grey. This is probably the most interesting ink I’ve had in this series so far. While it may look like a dark grey, nearly black ink, the more I used it the more complexity I found hiding in it. Before this past week, I had only used it once …

About Me

John Bosley
John Bosley

Hi, my name is John. I’m a Colorado-born professional photographer who recently moved back to Denver after spending 3 years in San Francisco. I’ve been using and collecting fountain pens for over 20 years. I got my first one in college when I got bored taking notes with ballpoints and pencils. Since then I’ve bought and sold hundreds of pens, but have consistency in my love of Esterbrooks.
