As the titler says - what is your favorite ink, and why? Does it change with the seasons or the use case?

I can start out. My current favorite is Diamine Oxblood. I’m not really sure why this is, but I like the color and it behaves nicely in my Safari. I also enjoy my Iroshizuko Tsuki-Yo, and I really like this color, but I have not tested this much. But I think it will be good in my AL-Star 2023LE Petrol! 😎

    My favourite is Diamine Sargasso Sea. It’s vivid and stands out, but it’s “normal” enough to use in professional situations.

    It’s also an exact colour match for my daily driver pen (Pineider Avatar UR in ultramarine), which is a big plus point.

      This is how I feel about Noodler’s Baltimore Canyon Blue. It shades well and even sheens in a wet enough nib, but it’s also “just a blue”.

        That’s a lovely ink! I’ve yet to try Noodler’s but may need to source some samples.
