10 INKS you should TRY in 2025 - and not the ones everyone talks about!

[@Nadia_collects]

Recommendations: Herbin Rouge Grenat, Diamine Autumn Oak, Monteverde Olivine, KWZ Walk Over Vistula, Robert Oster Viola, Pelikan Brilliant Brown 4001

[@seemownay]

I've tried several of them and they did not make the list. LOL.

[@fossilimprint2954]

Thank you so much, I adore ink videos. Merry Christmas!

[@seemownay]

I'm glad you love them.

Love this video! Waterman is always a great choice in any pen. Please give Lamy Dark Lilac a try if you haven't, the 2024 version is less interesting than the original, but still a nice ink. If you're into bluer teals, Robert Oster Clearwater Rain is a very nice one. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

I can’t wait to jump into my hobby in 2025. I will def try few of the ones you have mentioned. ❤

[@vanessaboman8143]

Beautiful colours ... Thank you for reccomendations. It's always great to see what different artists like.

[@seemownay]

Thank you so much!

A very interesting group of inks. Thank you for sharing them with us. I particularly like the Wearingeul Yum Dong Ju. I have too many inks that I like. I do favour iroshizuku chiku-rin and Diamine Soft Mint.

[@audreycaldeira-hankey2951]

The waterman inks ( i have all but one of the range) are for sure my most loved inks for all my pens. I use it for 1st time inking of either vintage or modern fountain pens. In particular my most used are the purple, green, red, and dark blue from this range. 😊

[@seemownay]

Yes, I recently inked up their Serenity Blue and even that is lovely. (I normally don't like these kinds of blue.)

[@jdennhardt8595]

I love Star Spattered Hill!

[@anthonystafford7502]

Excellent choices. Your videos are so enjoyable and inspiring.

[@s.maskell7134]

What beautiful choices!

[@seemownay]

Thank you so much!

[@Nadia_collects]

Appreciate such nicely presented recommendations - want to play with Brane. 💚

[@Adventuresover40]

I need to try Raspberry Rose and Brane. So pretty.

[@seemownay]

I'd love to send you samples - want to DM me on discord?

[@Adventuresover40]

@ Really? Woo hoo. Okay I will.

I recently got Taccia Sabimidori and it's been living forever in my Black/Green Pelikan M800. I'm loving this combination. I feel like I would have been compelled to buy a bottle of Teranishi Gentle Green if I didn't have the Taccia one.

[@artpherr]

It's interesting the Earl Grey Sample Image on Atlas Stationers looks more like a red inch, but yours is clearly a bright orange. I think I am just going to have to get a bottle for myself and see!

[@seemownay]

I believe that Vanness sells samples of it. It is definitely bright orange.

[@soapturtle]

I second the recommendation for the Waterman inks. I have Inspired Blue, Tender Purple, and Harmonious Green. I wish I had tried them sooner. They are beautiful, shade well, and are just so well behaved. And after trying the 5ml of ColorVerse Brane, I might have to look around for the larger bottle. I love it.

[@seemownay]

If you fill your cart at Vanness, throw some Brane in. I bought mine there.

[@SigridLoviseSvingen]

I really like the Earl grey tea. I might try that one.

[@seemownay]

Let me know what you think once you do.

[@ramonafirehorse]

So many of these are also my faves!

[@seemownay]

I guess, we like the same things.

[@johndevault9030]

Everyone should have some of the Waterman inks on hand. They work well in every pen I have. Some pen and ink combos have flow issues, but I have not experience that with Waterman inks.

[@seemownay]

I agree 100%.

[@cerealnana]

Still need to try raspberry rose!

[@seemownay]

I sent you a sample though, right? If not, one of your Londoner pen friends must have it. I'm sure!

[@Calcprof]

Taccia Sabamidori is a great favorite of mine as is Ku-Jaku.

[@seemownay]

I have a sample put aside for February, I'm already planning another 28inks28pens month.

[@JunieOutdoors]

I still want to try the teranishi gentle green. Now to find it!

[@seemownay]

I got mine at St Louis Art Supplies.

[@MissouriAngel]

New sub here. I love ink videos!

[@b.smithchobette]

Oooh I love the waterman tender purple, is it more wet, dry, or a good mix? Tsuki-Yo is my go to blue ink!

[@seemownay]

I think it leans more wet but so far it has behaved absolutely well in all of the pens I put it in.

[@Volkmannx]

Sailor Manyo Yu. Period. Anyway, thank you!

[@seemownay]

Looks like a very pretty color!

[@sherrycohen1824]

I cannot wrap my head around why Dominant called that orangey ink Earl Grey Ink. IMHO, the Diamine Earl Grey looks more accurate. My favorite ink of all time is Conklin's limited edition blue ink, Israel 75. It's the most gorgeous blue ink I've ever used.

[@seemownay]

It's called Earl Grey Tea and sometimes the tea does have an orange hue but never as bright orange as this.
