If you think Stephanie's performance deserves an Oscar, give this video a like! ;)
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was hoping for an epilogue skit at the end..
in Clifford Simak's 'Way Station' 1963, the CIA agent is describing questionable behavior: 'he buys large bound journals by the dozen, and ink by the pint' - can we buy ink by the pint?
Hi, can you pls make a video about long lasting/archival quality fountain pen ink?
(Note to self…Stephanie - My Wallet Slipped. I slipped)
"My wallet slipped; I slipped." Had me laughing in the first ten seconds.
Same. I laughed so hard. I'm going to use that excuse from now on. Stephanie's delivery was *chef's kiss*.
The bloopers at the end?? 10/10 favorite part of the video, love that Mr. Narrator gets to shine through as a sarcasm king
I love how you try to resolve hoarding with more hoarding
Stephanie is a treasure and love Mr. Narator; this is 100% Oscar-material :)
Stephanie is the cool friend I wish I had. Mr. Narrator’s personality shining through is awesome 😎
Yes! Solve your too much ink problem buy buying more pens with broader nibs. Love it!
The chips and dip dilemma...
Buying more pens and nibs doesn't consume your ink. Writing more often does.
@@brad4058Having more pens certainly helps though 😂
I love the community collectively refers to the narrator as Mr. Narrator… but also can we get a video of their fav stationary items!
I feel attacked. I will buy more ink to make myself feel better
Most of my fountain pens are thinner nibs. I like the sharp look of writing that way, and that means my ink collection will outlive me, my children, and my grandchildren. I think of my pen habit as what I will leave begging for generations, because I know I won’t leave any greenbacks.
"minor hoarding problem"
*cries in major hoarding problem*
"Thanks for swatching... ha.. hahaha..." just cracked me up !!! Love you Mr. Narrator, so nice to hear you again !!!
When it comes to swatching, take a moment to dab a small circular or file label and stick it to the top of your bottle. Particularly if you store your bottles in a drawer, this helps you find what you're looking for more easily. :)
I went from owning my first fountain pen to owning several with different inks for each within a few months. I do draw every day but I'm now realizing the predicament I've put myself in :D I guess now I have an excuse to get into calligraphy!
We need more of Stephanie and Mr. Narrator!
The "Stephanie" bit was really funny. Nice to see some creativity in an ink video.
Stephanie's confession and the Narrator's outtakes are A+
That very end: "ha ... ha ha...." is cracking me up!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh, I’m cackling at the bloopers. Best bloopers to date 😂😂😂
I always love the bloopers in these videos, and these were exceptionally entertaining 😆 “Are you bad at art? Try abstract!” Amazing.
It was great hearing Mr. Narrator joking around at the end 🤣
First reaction: WHAT IS THIS CALLOUT HEY
Watching videos: Cool cool cool cool cool I already do most of this.
End of video: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL TRAP TO GET OTHER PEOPLE INTO THIS I LOVE IT.
BEST MLM EVER (aka the FP hobby).
This called me out so much; I’ve got four bottles and ten sample vials but I’m still planning on getting the Diamine Inkvent calendar. 😅
How many likes on this video would it take to see the face of the legendary JetPens voiceover guy? Get him on the monthly podcast segment, please!
Only four? Only FOUR???? You have a long way to go to be anywhere near an ink hoarder 😊 I have close to 200 bottles and numerous sample vials 😬
@@Jennie8684 That’s impressive! I did, however, manage to acquire twelve pens in the past twelve months so the hoarding tendency is gradually increasing.
I'm up to eight bottles - but I really want the Inkvent calendar this year too!
@@heathergleiser good to see you’re making progress. Once, about 12 years ago, I had 1 Fountain Pen and a few packets of cartridges… it’s a slippery slope. 🙄
Try 20 80ml bottles if Diamine … it will all be used, of course!
Absolutely love Jet Pens and Stephanie. I have found the perfect justification for having WAY too many inks ~~ I cut quills, and put 3 ml of ink (with 5 drops of liquid Gum Arabic) in labeled sample vials for my local Museum. I have developed handouts which I fold into my ought-to-be-patented custom enveloples along with quill, ink, and a small piece of blotter paper. Color swatch on outside of packet. Children love them!
Oh my! Holy cow! Do tell more!! This sounds so interesting!
I love using inks as watercolours, especially the crazy-shading ones like Haha or Troublemaker Petrichor; one ink can create a stunning variety of blooming colours. Thanks for the recipe to turn fountain pen inks into calligraphy inks; I might be using that a lot in the future!
Also, every single narrator on JetPens is a treasure and we’re so grateful for you ❤️
Hey! Don’t call out my minor ink hoarding problem! Tbh Stephanie’s ink collection in this video looks too much like mine for comfort 😂
Not just the Number of inks but the NZ 🇳🇿$ cost...........my cheapest ink..60ml...cost.like 4$C or 5nz come from China..,.if you don't mind waiting 6 weeks ..preCovid time.
“ whether you have a few extra bottles on your shelf or minor hoarding problem…”how did they know😳 😂😅
My preferred methods:
Stream of consciousness journalling. Where I sit down with a pen and paper and just write whatever crosses my mind. Took a moment to analyze a stress overload this way.
Writing prompts. You can find entire online communities about sharing creative writing prompts. Reddit can come up with some pretty clever ones.
Transcribe something. Some text that you find personally significant, be it a beloved short story, note from family, or scripture from your faith of choice.
Footnote, the Preppy's converter is a relatively poor value, especially compared to the excellent value of the pen alone.
I would recommend using Platinum's cartridges, refilling cartridges with an ink syringe (it's seriously easy), or just eyedropper the thing.
Platinum's cartridges are quite spacious, and you get actually pretty close to eyedropper capacity from one without the risk, if eyedroppering makes you nervous.
I have a little too much ink.
Noodlers: Air Corps Blue Black, Blue Ghost, Heart of Darkness 4.5oz, 54th Mass, Dark Matter.
Diamine Twilight, J. Herbin 1670 Bleu Ocean, Dominant Industry Lapis Lazuli, Colorverse Quasar and Cat.
The only ones I've made an appreciable impact on are the Twilight (it's just a 30ml and I eyedroppered a pen for 4 of them) and Aircorps (that happens when you fill the better half of a minor pen collection from one ink because you don't own any others yet).
There's no such thing as too much ink. I have three hundred and twenty-six or the largest bottles I could buy from each brand, and I'm still looking for new inks that fit into my rather wide wheelhouse.
Wait...... "my wallet slipped...." I'm totally trying this with my husband in our next budget discussion, lol
"Ink hoarder" 😂😂😂
I feel called out! _proceeds to buy a broad fountain pen_
I love this narrator, he needs to be featured more I think.
If you want to use up your inks try the hobby of zentangle. It’s relaxing and uses mega ink!!! Start with the Sakura pen but then move to fountains.
In need of a pen pal to send me a care package with inks and a platinum preppy!
How did Jetpens found this footage of me!?? Oh wait that's just Stephanie
Stephany is so funny 🤭🥰. The Narrator is so cool😁🥰. I use my inks all the time in my Jounal, everything day with a different pen and a coloured ink🖊🖊
This makes me thankful for sample sized inks. 3 to 5ml. Can try a lot. And no stress with having to use many bottles.
Those outtakes turn into hot takes. 😂
I am definitely an ink hoarder. Lol. I totally get it
Thankfully, i did not buy a bunch of ink for my pens. I researched and researched until i found the perfect ink for my needs. One that was water soluble when wet but waterproof and alcohol proof when dry, one that worked for dip pens, brushes and fountain pens and wasnt too expensive. This research culminated into the platinum carbon ink, which when dilluted to an 8:2 ink to water ratio is just perfect for my needs, its also a very deep black.
I'm pretty much the same way as you, except my ink of choice is DeAtramentis archive black. Very waterproof, very black, and I can pause for a good, long time without my nib drying out. Has good lubrication too! It has reasonably good dry time on my Clairefontaine Triomphe paper. I currently have one bottle decanted into my TWSBI inkwell, and four more 45ml bottles in reserve. I will never let myself run out of this ink.
I'm not trying to say that the DeAtramentis is better than the Carbon Black (I haven't tried it yet), it's just that I love how it behaves in my pens; so why fix it?
This is just a shout out to a fellow permanent black ink user who hasn't completely fallen into the rabbit hole of every ink out there.
It's good ink, though I've seen it gunk up pens pretty bad when left in too long. I don't have a single ink for my needs. I love ink, the many, many, many colors and shades, the sheen, etc., so right now I have three hundred and twenty-six LARGE bottles of ink for my needs. And I have n doubt I'll keep buying more.
Research? Yes, lots of research so I can find all the new inks coming out. Right now, I have twenty-five pens inked up, each with a different ink. I'm getting ready for the New Year, by the first, I'll have my favorite thirty-one pens inked up. A different pen and a different ink for every day of the month. Ideally, I want to use a different ink every day of the year. If I count all the ink cartridges I have stuffed in a shoebox, I have more than enough inks to do the job.
Insane. Totally crazy. But it sounds like fun, so why not?
That's a great ink! My favorite black. Never had any problems with it.
@@jamesaritchie1 More things will not give you happiness in the long run, and the fun doesn't last long. It will take time to realise this, but when you realise it you will have become wiser.
As soon as I saw this I felt so called out and also very darn proud!
Yes, I have a large fountain ink collection. Especially in purple, turquoise and magenta.
Yes, I AM proud of this fact.
Signed me, getting ready to purchase the 2022 Inkvent collection and the newest J. Herbin 1860.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Give Stephanie the Oscar for "Best Sorry, I'm Not Sorry Performance By A Stationery Lover."
The inkvent calendar is a siren song!
I didn't know that P. S meant "post script," thanks JetPens 🤓
I have 20 bottles of ink; 8 big bottles and 12 smaller ones and I'm sure I'll be getting more. The thing is: if different inks inspire me to write more (and they do) it's a good investment.
I've written more than 500 pages in the last half a year and last month I started bullet journaling too, so I write a lot, almost daily. I have two customized italic nibs: 1,1 mm and 1,5 mm and some customized flex nibs too and they all use up a lot of ink. Sometimes I use up a 1 ml converter in one writing session.
I don't even feel that my collection is large, since I use a lot of ink, but I have been trying to get a small bottle of ink first, if it's available. If I use up a small bottle or see that I keep using it a lot, I will get a big bottle.
Writing is one of the best hobbies to have and it's such a useful skill to have that I don't feel bad using a lot of money in it: I feel it's an investment in myself.
This is the healthiest habit I've heard of! "An investment in myself". You've inspired me to try using up my (massive) collection of ink samples this way. And if it means I discover inks I want a full bottle of (as I only have 3), that'll be a good thing.
@@snowsim good to hear that you got the idea from this!
I have some inks I really like, but I haven't used them as much as I expected. Testing them in practise has given some surprises as I've basically fallen in love with a color I didn't initially like so much. Then again there are some great colors that I rarely choose, although I really like them. For example I have different blues and teals that are very nice, but I rarely write a lot with those. So a small bottle lasts a long time and as they are similar colors, it's sometimes hard to choose.
I guess I'm a bit moody when choosing ink, since I like so many colors, but somehow that's an expressive choice too. Having different pens with different ink helps with bullet journaling: it's now easy to find the work-related passages as they are mostly in grey (unless something was super fun) and then hobbies and free time notes are in brighter colors.
Sometimes I do this in my diary too; when I change the subject I change the pen too and write it in different ink as it has a different mood. This has made me think more about color choices and I feel it's becoming a more natural part of my expression :)
Your collection isn't large. I have three hundred and twenty-six of the largest bottles of ink I could get from each brand. And I certainly do not hold the record. I know several people who have my collection beat by a mile.
@@hannuback I constantly switch pens and inks in my journaling. I keep several types of journals, and I also write fiction/humor/articles five hours a day, five or six days per week. Different pens and different inks really helps my mood, keeps me interested, and lets me have more fun. Switching pens also helps my hand. Different grip with, different weight of the pens, different balance point, all help me avoid hand fatigue.
that stephanie part had me me in tears 🤣🤣 post script ... YOU DONT KNOW ME
I would like to thank you all this video reminded me that while I had cleaned one of my pens I had yet to reink it so it was just sitting there without ink in it.
Oh dear, this one hits home.
Thanks for adding the bloopers at the end, they gave me some good giggles 🤭
Bless you Jet Pens. These video bloopers are so good! 😂
What a Brilliant intro to a Pen & ink Video 📖 ☑✍🏼🖋😎👍
8:15...love the Out Takes (Bloopers) 😂👍 😅 😂 🤣
Love this whole video!! Stephanie's beginning, the various ink usage ideas (enabling?), and Mr. Narrator's delightful bloopers. A total win for the JetPens community!!
Also, Mr. Narrator, did I hear you on another commercial recently?! (Bosch?)
The end bits made me laugh! Great video all around.
Narrator friend is amazing, we need more of him
loved the blurbs, it allowed me to feel accompanied in my on the fence feelings towards some of the suggestions
That "abstract art with ink" idea gave me an idea to instead just make it Splatoon. 1 sheet of paper, 2 different inks, 2 people, the one who inks the most in a few minutes wins.
sounds like a great way to make a giant mess lmfao
my wallet slipped... i slipped 😂 i can't this was too funny!!! and too relatable 💀
Another great JP video- Stephanie & Mr. Narrator, awesome work!
I have an entire section of my Alex ikea drawer just for my ink collection and i am PROUD OF IT
I've got a few bottles of ink but they're nearly all "archival" because I wanted to use them for art as well. Most of these are irongall inks and I went through several brands searching out the best one for everyday writing, something that was dark and wouldn't bleed through cheap paper (which irongall ink generally doesn't, a big reason I like it so much). I've started using these inks in big drawings. What I love about irongall ink is the way it goes grey and then brown, possibly orange even as it ages or gets exposed to light. So I do the main figures in carbon black Indian ink which shouldn't fade, and I do the background in irongall inks. As the picture ages the foreground and background should grow more and more distinct from each other.
Well that's the idea...!
HOW DID YOU KNOW I NEEDED THIS VIDEO 😅 *laughs in ink collector*
I love the bloopers at the end! ❤
So I didn’t realize how much ink hoarding I did in a few years until I moved. I had put my Ferris Wheel and favorite inks on a wall display and in an antique desk…. Felt accomplished. Until I found the other box that had the rest of them. 😂 Had no idea where to put them anymore. Lmao. Thanks for the tips in the video. Hopefully I can write more while my sister is in the military and my family is half the country away.
I love your channel's outtakes!
You two are great! Thanks for the info with the fun at the end! Blessings
😂❤ thank you ! This was so incredibly entertaining!! And helpful!
Y’all. This video is amazing!!!!!
LOL well I just got into the world of fountain pens and plan to buy my first bottle of ink soon... is this a sign of my future? XD
I MISSED YOUR VOICE MR. NARRATOR YOUR VOICE IS SO GOOOOOOD
Same
Thank you for this!
The pun at the end made me like the video. Thanks for the laugh.
Informative AND hilarious!
Haha! I love this video! I have a stash of fountain pen inks but since I retired I hardly use my fountain pens. However, I have found that I'm using more ink now than before, thanks to my calligraphy hobby (flex/broad nib dip pens + Pilot parallal pens) - I use the inks straight from the bottles, no need to thicken. I have also learnt to paint with watercolours so I'll soon be using up my inks with my sketches too! I'll need to buy more ink .LOL!
Apenas compré unas puntillas para caligrafía y siento que estoy por caer en la adicción a las tintas (especialmente las azules y púrpuras). A lo mejor termino como Stephanie, declarandome culpable 😂😂😂😂.
I needed this video 10 years ago 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I see inks that I have never seen before! ENABLING MUCH? XD
More Stephanie!
Stephanie's performance + the outtakes :D (y)
I got an ink that is known to be very fun with a wet brush and plan to try the fountain pen and wet brush method for doing watercolor like work on the go.
I have several bottles and a bunch of cartridges and I am very much not sorry😆. I love writing with my fountain pens💚. I use a fine nib for note-taking or making summaries of the stuff that I need to learn for work, and a 1.1mm stub for journalling. I also have a rollerball and a medium nib that I use for jotting down things for work/meetings, and they're different colours for different topics. They are competing with Pentel Energels at the moment though😅. I try to use them as well when I write a card to someone, although the paper doesn't always agree with that😅.
Omg i love this video!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄 I was laughing out loud so many times!
this is a great video!!
Thanks I was on my way to have another ink that look glorious while still waiting for my first one come home (because if one come later I can use the other and then when it’s comer home I will know I can use both with zero problems )
I feel seen! Just bought three more inks... after getting 2 others as birthday presents!
Now that I bought the Pilot Iro-Utsushi dip pen wood Fine for starters I have been looking at other fountain pen inks to write with coincidently besides the J. Herbin scented ink mini botttle set that I bought lol.
I also love blue black inks!
Ink hoarder!?
Oh no no no, stay away from my precious babies😭
Great ideas 💡
The out takes are the best … they should be the story 😂
I have several bottles of ink. 😅
I am making a conscious effort to use many of my fountain pens regularly. I have two to use at school (my young students love seeing me write with my fancy pens, lol). I have one for my journal and two on my desk. I have six more fountain pens and one dip pen that are not currently in use. In terms of nibs, I definitely prefer to use a medium nib to see all that beautiful ink flow onto the paper. ✒️🖋😊
Thanks for swatching xD
I love watching these types of videos
How to use up your lead
Jet pens is way to entertaining for what it is
I can't believe that I'm watching the video and relating to Stephanie. Yes, I have an addictiin to fine inks.
Not to discourage you or anything but I’m in one of the last fully analog classes in my school and an adamant diary writer. I own a single Lamy Allstar with a (western) fine nib and I use one bottle of ink at a time which usually lasts me about a year…
I thought I was bad with all the colours, but I definitely don’t have a ton of different shades of the same colour like black LOL. A couple wildly different blues, but the rest are all super unique colours from each other, but it’s tough to use them up for sure…esp because I’m lazy and don’t want to clean the pen completely out to use a different colour for like 3 uses because they aren’t practical colours and go back to a normal colour after
My wallet slipped sums it up…more Stephanie!
great video! I´ll be sharing it in in my IG account, I´ve been posting about ways to use inks too ... funny coincidence. I included diaries and field trip notebooks too :)
I love doing pen and ink illustrations. There fun and use up a lot of ink lmao
Having watched a number of similar Jetpens' videos, I feel as though they have positioned a camera somewhere near my desk and can see everything!
I feel like this video just made me want more ink...
A much less wasteful method of swatching your inks is to use a paintbrush.
