Troublemaker Sepia Hour and Fountain Pens

[@user-gl5ld9vm7i]

Hi Cathy! I'm using a Pilot Sepia, and a Sailor Sepia. They're really vibrant on paper!

You and another commenter were the first to make me aware that Pilot had a Sepia ink. I'll have to check it out. 😀

I really like the Pilot Sepia that comes in cartridges. Using it now in my Prera . I love my Troublemaker Sea Glass but this one may a bit too light for me. Thanks for the review as I’m always looking for sepia inks.

I wasn't aware that Pilot had a Sepia ink. I'll have to check it out. Sea Glass is on my list of inks to try as well. 😀

I often get sepia and sienna colours mixed up, especially since there are raw or burnt varieties also. This ink seems too thin, dry, with low saturation. And a little fickle not wanting to adhere to some papers. Don't think I have the patience for this ink. 😁 Thank you for the video! Always a pleasure listening to your calm voice and discoveries. 😇🩷🙏🙌

Thank you! I love the delicate appearance of low saturated inks, but I'm like you, I also don't have the patience for inks that have an unpleasant writing experience. 😀

You do such an in-depth analysis in these inks and pen combinations. I think this would be too light and dry for me personally though I always want to like these lighter colors! 😁

[@gadgetstop321]

I am the same way. The swatches look so pretty but I just don't like how they feel.

I just want to ask but which is better the zebra delguard 0.3 or the pentel orenz?

[@gadgetstop321]

If you write with a heavy hand, the Delguard will be the better choice. However, if lead breaking is not something you typically have trouble with, I would recommend the Orenz Nero because the auto advancing lead is quite convenient for thin leads. 😀

Thanks

You're welcome! 😀

Kathy that ink is a little too pail for me. Thanks! Blessings

[@gadgetstop321]

Thank you! I tend to agree. I always get drawn in by the pretty swatches but these types of inks aren't usually fun to use in fine nibs.
