Hi there Coyote, welcome to the community.

Suggestions on a fast drying ink.

Quink, Skrip, Auora, & J herbin come to mind first. All good inks IMHO. I'm a Noodlers, Private Reserve & Diamine fan for the most part. I like the deeper color saturation & slightly longer dry times.

What pens do you own now? Any that you dont have that grab your eye & want more info on? We'll be glad to assist. Read, Post, share & relax a spell. We're glad to have you.

Hey there, coyotewhisper, and welcome!

I may not be a leftie, but I like fast-drying inks too. From Private Reserve brand I like the Orange Crush, Sonic Blue, and Burgundy Mist colors. I also find Waterman Blue, Waterman Havana Brown, Pelikan Blue-Black, and Skrip Red to be very fast to dry, too. Waterman and Pelikan inks play nice in modern and vintage pens.

Welcome to The Community, coyotewhisper!

I am a fan of PR and Diamine inks as well, but find that PR inks can be too thick for some vintage pens. I like darker colors, and find Quink Black and Sheaffer BB among my favorites in those colors. I also like Lamy BB, and use it in cart form in my Vista Safari. It does have a fast drying time along with the other two inks above.
