I like to keep a record of some of my inks so after looking at how Brian Goulet does his tests and checking out what others have done at places like The Fountain Pen Network (http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/), I developed my own. This afternoon I decided to test three of the Iroshizuku inks:

I found the discrepancy in the drying times very interesting and, ironically, the ink in the pen with the fine point took the longest to dry. (That is the Tsukushi and it is in the brown pearlescent Parker Vacumatic that Johnny just gave me.)
