In this video, I show you my ink journal entries and talk about how this months fountain pens and inks are writing! After the video, I discuss the book Antinet Zettelkasten by Scott Scheper (Special thank you to pen friend SB for this great book!) -- and I talk about bib (bibliography) cards AND TWSBI inks - sorting out the 6 inks that came in the 1791 set. I'll see you back here soon for the 4th Pen Fast Chat ... as I navigate toward the end of September (and a possible buying window in the fall/winter).
Here's a list of the pens and inks talked about in today's video:
1. Kaweco Sport Mellow Blue BB with J Herbin Kyanite du Nepal (pen from pen friend BBR).
2. Jinhao 82 Pink B Opus 88 nib with Colorverse Red Shift (ink from pen friend KS).
3. TWSBI Go Clear B with Diamine Amber.
4. Benu Briolette Luminous Amber B with Birmingham Smoke Stack (pen from anonymous viewer and ink sample from pen friend Cathie).
5. Jinhao X750 Pink B JoWo with Lamy Vibrant Pink.
6. TWSBI Eco Transparent Purple B with Pelikan 4001 Violet.
7. TWSBI Eco Transparent Green B with TWSBI Forest Green (?Ink may have been from pen friend CS)
8. TWSBI Eco Transparent Orange B with TWSBI Orange (pen from pen friend DB).
9. Jinhao X750 Ivory? B Goulet nib with Sailor 50 States Texas ink (pen friend MS sent me another bottle of this beautiful ink!)
10. Lamy Safari Violet Candy M/then B nib with Lamy Dark Lilac (pen was a gift from pen friend TB)
11. Benu Euphoria Pink Champagne (Goldspot Exclusive) B with Van Dieman's Marilyn shimmer ink.

![Channel Trailer - Season 6 - 2023
In this 3 minute video, I talk about plans for this year and what you can expect video wise from me! [Ha! this is a long overdue update to the channel trailer I last made 3 years ago and will give newcomers here a clear picture of what to expect content wise!] The major emphasis for the channel this year is school/student/child friendly fountain pen reports and explorations! I will also continue with my Chris Inked Pens monthly and the follow on Progress Report each month. In addition to that, I typically upload first impressions videos and/or reviews when I find something that I really think is just great within the hobby and want to share it with you!
Thank you to everyone who stops by here! I really appreciate all your support over the years! Its hard to believe this is our 6th season we celebrated the 5 year channel anniversary in September of 2022.
This channel is like a virtual pen club to me and I am so grateful to have people like you who like to stop in and talk about pens, inks, and all things related to the hobby + quite often cats + books as well!!!! I feel we are all very blessed to have this nice community of pen friends to share the best hobby ever with! Thank you for all youve contributed - comments, subscribing, emails, letters, pens, inks, samples, notebooks, cases, ... and many more things ... ! I keep it pretty simple - but hopefully still communicate helpful and/or fun things.
Check out the awesome ink comparison website (Ink Swatch) that Matt put together for everyone to enjoy and thank you to everyone who has contributed swatch tiles for this!!!!
