== Ink Color ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, I love the look of the color from the image that you shared on Goulet and I say it's interesting to me, but I just like you, I just get scared about putting this stuff into a pen, especially because of the way that I am, you know, like I will keep ink in a pen and use it until I'm done with it. Yeah. I don't think I want to have to change that to the point where I'm like thinking, having to think about it, you know, like, so I would get this new ink and be like, oh, this looks fun. And then I put it in the fountain pen that I want to use it with. And then it's like, well, how long am I allowed to leave it in here for before I ruin everything? You know, I'm just like, I think I'm happier right now to just continue trying to find some inks that have some cool properties to them, like shimmering or whatever, which is not going to necessarily destroy whatever I put it in.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I don't think it's going to destroy anything. No, but it can make things bad, right? Like it can screw things up. I don't know. Well, it just might like dry up in your feed or things like that. You might have to clean the feed a little bit, but I don't think it, I'm, the more I look at these inks, the more I want to use them and the less I think there's going to be any issues with it at all.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Everyone in the chat room is losing their mind at me right now. Fine. Okay. I'll buy the ink.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But you also, you also leave pens inked for much longer periods of time than I do. Yeah, we're talking years, right? Yeah. So it's more of a consideration for you than me. Like me, I'm not worried about it because I clean my pens out frequently and use them. And so it's, it's real cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I don't do that because I speak for the, for the every person, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And I just don't like the sparkles because I don't use them in nibs that show off the property. So I don't want to clog, you know, like an EF nib having extra things in it. That's, that's not good for an extra fine nib, but that's really not what they should be used for. It should be like a, you know, super wide nib. So I'll use probably like a 1.1 TWSBI stub, something like that. That's what I'm thinking anyway. So we'll see. I am, this is the first one that I am anxious to get inked and using to see what it's all about. So I've always sent off the, um, sent off the other inks for review. Like Susan really likes the sparkle inks and she has the handwriting and the pens to use to really show off the properties of the ink. I think this one, sorry, Susan, I think this one I'm going to keep, uh, for myself and then and review it. I mean, it's orange. I got to review it, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I feel like it's your brand.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Gotta, gotta be on brand here. Well, I mean, I'll see how this one comes out and it, and then maybe I'll give it a go. I mean, I think I have two sparkly, uh, inks. Yeah, I do. I have two of the emerald, like the, Jeoban. Yeah. I have the Emerald of Chavuant. I think the first one, the blue one, Stormy Sea or something. Mm-hmm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Is that what it was called? Uh, I think so. Like, or was that the gray one? I don't know. They did the gray and blue early. They did the red early. Those were kind of a little bit separate from this new, new batch that they're doing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, I'm, I'm literally on Colt pens right now. I'm going to buy this one and then, and then we'll see what happens.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I think it'll come out. I think it comes out next month, but I'm really intrigued at the color. They look pretty awesome. So, um, speaking of staying on brand, Myke, Sailor Pro Gear. I got the ocean. It is in my hand. The ocean is in my hand, Myke.
