I want something more like the Faber-Castell PITT pens but in a gray with an actual point rather than a brush tip.

The Derwent Graphik Graphite ink pen is my current favorite. Looks a lot like pencil, but is permanent ink.

I love the De Atrementis colors but unfortunately, my fountain pens don't like the ink. It's clogged two of them! Thanks for the idea though.

The Oatmeal ink was okay, but not a winner, long term. I am currently really like the Derwent Graphik Graphite ink. Looks a lot like pencil, but is permanent ink.

I don't remember seeing it back in 2010. I also prefer ink not as dark as black. Like the others have suggested, I picked up some Lexington Grey but I haven't actually used it much. Although I have fountain pens, I find myself reaching for the trusty old disposables. I need to get braver and "just go for it" with one of my fountain pens and Lexington Grey. Cute story about the old folks in the waiting room. Great story.

De Atrementis makes several colors of water proof ink too. The only one I've tried so far is black, but you might have a look at them.

I go to an eye care center for my glaucoma and yes, most people are quite aged as I am actually one of the younger ones there on any given day; got glaucoma earlier than most too : (. Love your story and I can just imagine how it would go just like that! As for the word blendable, it will get into the dictionary if we keep using it. Ain't is in there as well as LOL because they are used so much. I've seen the zig blendables but didn't buy them - yet, lol. I did buy some new Zig writer pens - the whole big set of 'em as I really like them for their waterfastness and I thought they weren't being produced anymore.

He usually changes his mind by the time they are finished. It took him awhile to trust the process. ha.. I can just imagine what you thought when she said that. I haven't seen oatmeal ink. Sounds interesting.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
