- Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for tuning in for another video.
This is a pen that I have had on my wishlist for a couple of years now, maybe even longer. It’s the Opus 88 Koloro.
Big thanks to The Desk Bandit for sending me these samples and bottle of Tono & Lims ink (which I still can’t figure out the name of).

Jayne congrats on the new pen it’s just beautiful & ink swatches & bless you for the sneeze 🥰 🖋️
Oh thanks Tracey, I tried to hold it in but failed 😂 The pen is lovely, writes very well and the Colorverse Brunch Date ink goes so well with it. Take care and have a wonderful weekend 😊
Your new pen is a very pretty colour - congrats 😊 I love the Desk Bandit, I order annoying amounts of samples from them but they are very gracious ❤ I especially like the Robert Oster sample & the ink to match the pen - enjoy your weekend 😂💚🍀
Hi Debra, yes Desk Bandit have a wonderful array of samples, I always end up ordering a few each time just to try things out. Thank you so much for watching and have a great weekend 😊
Another nice pen you have added to you collection. It is an interesting colour, subtle shading, and is complimented by the white finial.
I agree whit the inks, they do compliment each other.
Hi Ray, the Colorverse Brunch Date ink matches the pink in the pen perfectly. It’s not a pink pink if that makes sense, more peach sort of undertone to it. I am very happy with it and it is writing so well too. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
Lovely pen Jayne. The tone of pink is so pretty! Glad you figured out how to get it to write for you.
Thank you Tina, yes the tone of pink is very subtle which I really like and it is now writing beautifully. Have a lovely weekend Tina 😊
I love the new pen, and Brunch Date looks like such a perfect match. It's one of my favourite inks, I just love it.
I can see why, such a beautiful soft colour but still legible. Thank you so much for watching and have a great week 😊
What a pretty pen. I'm so happy for you. Love to hear how you like it over a period of time.
The inks are so beautiful. Brunch date is a favorite but the earth and that blue one are very pretty.
Hi Priscilla, I think I’ll do a review later in the month of my pens and how they wrote etc. The Brunch Date matches the resin beautifully! Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful weekend 😊
@@jppenandink yes that pen and ink combo is stunning.
@@Adventuresover40 thanks Priscilla, I must admit I’m pretty happy with the Brunch Date in it, but another one that would go well is BPC Terracotta 😊
@@jppenandink yes!!! I didn't even think of that color.
Lovely pen! I believe the Tono & Lims ink is in Japanese and you read it Kyokai, it means Cancer (as in the zodiac sign)😊
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for sharing that with me! Take care and have a wonderful weekend 😊
Such a lovely pen to add to your collection!
Hi Yureli, it’s a very subtle pink and I like that it has the white accents. It writes very well too. Thank you so much for watching and have a great weekend 😊
That is a lovely pen! I have found that it sometimes helps to dip the nib on eyedroppers. Capillary action is the term I've heard.
Ooh thanks for that Shauna, that is very helpful. For a while there I was wondering what I had done wrong. Even when I had it standing up for 24 hours the ink still wasn’t reaching the nib. I worked out that it had created a vacuum in the body so once I played with that it worked then. 8 years on and I am still learning 😂 Hope you have a wonderful weekend 😊
If I may .. the filling mechanism on the Opus 88 pens has nothing to do with vacuum filling. The piston-activated shutoff valve in there shuts down the ink flow from the barrel to the nib and feed to prevent leaking. You need to open up the knob at the bottom when you're writing to allow the ink to flow. Although there will be some ink in the feed to let you keep writing for a bit, it will stop writing if you keep the knob closed and the shut off valve activated.Looks like you got there in the end, but I'm hoping your viewers won't end up with a bad impression of the filling mechanism. I've never had a problem with these pens starting up. Enjoy your pen!
Hi Marilyn, yes I did that for 24 hours and had it standing up, still no ink was coming through. I read some reviews and others had the same problem and it had created a vacuum of sorts in the barrel which is why even with the valve open, no ink was coming through. Once I moved the piston a little bit, the ink started flowing and now all I have to do is open the valve when writing with it. Hope this makes sense. Thank you for watching and hope you have a lovely day/evening 😊
Wow , the ink colours are amazing
Hi Wyn, they are such lovely colours indeed. Thank you so much for watching and have a great weekend 😊
Nice to see the channel headed towards 1K subscribers 👏🏽
Thank you Pokhraj 🙏🏻
Your new inks are beautiful! Love your new pen I can’t wait to hear your thoughts once you’ve used it for a while
Hi Anita, thanks so much and thank you for watching. No doubt I’ll probably do a review later in the month. Have a great weekend 😊
Hi, I have one of those Opus 88's in Blue, I got mine from Larry Post, funny enough I inked it today. I have a 1.4 Stub and put KWZ Auzura no.5 in it and it's fire-horsing all over my lucky enough FP-friendly paper. I love it
Hi Chelsea, enjoy your new fire hose 😂 Yes I’m quite enjoying it, the Colorverse Brunch Date is the perfect colour for it and flowing very well. I knew they were eyedropper pens, I just wasn’t sure about the piston I could see inside. But I worked it out. Thank you so much for watching, have a wonderful week 😊
The Opus 88 Koloro pink colour reminds me of a coral/peach pink rather than Barbie pink.
Regarding writing samples, I tend to risk spillage and tilt the sample vial to get the ink onto the dip pen, or if I'm not so lazy, I use an ink syringe and drop a droplet onto my dip pen. :D
Ahahaha that sneeze caught me be surprise.
I love that you're inverting the bottle as it's meant to be done instead of all those vigorous shakers I've seen in other UA-camrs playing with shimmer inks.
Hi Mel, a coral/peach pink is exactly how you would describe it. It’s very subtle and very pretty. And the Colorverse Brunch Date such a good match for it! Thank you for the tips on using those tiny samples, I could definitely use a syringe to fill a converter so I can use them in a pen. The Kyo No Oto one has shimmer in it and is the prettiest and softest blue/grey, really lovely. I hope you feel better soon lovely, rest up and have a good weekend 😊
Thanks@@jppenandink. A pipette works just as well! I've still some syringes left. I'll give you one when I see you next. :)
@@stationerystream oh no need lovely, I’ve got blunt tip syringes, so I’m good to go, but thank you for the offer 🥰
I actually had the same problem with my opus 88 minty. Turns out that the valve has to remain open for the ink to flow. Think pen. Beautiful, but girthy.
Hi Deb I had done this, but because of the piston inside it had created a vacuum of sorts. Once I moved it a little the ink started flowing. Now I’m really enjoying it. Thank you so much for watching and have a great week 😊
It's a pretty pen, isn't it? I have it in Medium nib as yours. I love it as it's so juicy.
Hi Sophie, yes it’s such a great little writer, and I love the subtleness of the pink. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful weekend 😊
I am doing research on this exact pen! I think I'll go for it 🤩
Hi there, I’m quite impressed with its smooth nib, it’s writing beautifully! Let me know which one you decide on 🤩
@@jppenandink I hit the buy button right after watching your video, haha. I got the pink/white in EF. So excited!
@@mybibliofiles oh I’m excited for you! Enjoy your new pen when it arrives 😊
@@jppenandink Hello again! I just wanted to return and give you an update. I took a break from using fountain pens for about 3+ weeks and I picked it up again to test - it worked perfectly! I love this pen! The trick was to leave the back unscrewed a few turns so the feed wouldn't dry out. I am so pleased! I hope you are enjoying yours as well. ☺️
@@mybibliofiles hi there, I’m glad you got it working. The first time I filled mine even leaving the top unscrewed, the ink just wouldn’t flow. I read some forums and they said that some of them create a vacuum of sorts and that you need to pull the plunger up. Once I did this (just once) I had no problem and it has been in regular rotation! Have a great weekend 😊
