I don't but now you got me thinking :-D

It can be extremely satisfying, especially when you get the exact shade.

I’ve got the pen in the middle and I find sniffing the inside of the barrel extremely satisfying :-)

Which pen is that one in the middle? Looks beautiful!

It looks like Platinum 3776 Celluloid. At least mine is. It’s made of celluloid and smells nicely (of camphor).
Bozicus@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y
Camphor is a good smell. I think some celluloid pens smell better than others, tbh. I have had… mixed results, lol.

It's actually a PenBBS 308 ;)

I think it looks similar: https://imgur.com/a/afZteve :-) no idea how they would look next to each other.

I used to do this, but I am drowning in way too many inks now to color match all the time lol

I often match maroon ink to maroon pen. Otherwise, I do it less often than I used to as I'm mainly using permanent inks now (not as many available colors).

Sometimes.

I rotate my pens and inks randomly.
wfh@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y
I actually should do this. I need more pens to use my inks and more inks to match my pens...

If we're not careful, it will be an infinite loop. Hahaha!

@iamnotacat Always more pens. Always more ink. Resistance is futile.
