Thanks for the colours, Betty. It's really helpful to see them all alongside each other like that.

Thanks for posting these. One of my favorite things to see on FPN is ink examples and/or descriptions. Of course none of that does anything to help curb my ink addiction! :ph34r:

Well, I'd have to rate them:

 

1) Diamine royal blue (pretty, pretty, pretty)

2) Noodlers luxury blue (lubricating, saturated, and bulletproof; works great with italics)

3) Swishmix antigua blue (really nice color; feathers on all but the best paper)

4) Diamine tropical blue (pretty, bright, and pretty bright) ;)

5) Diamine sapphire (if you like a little purple in your blue, this could be at the top of your list)

6) Noodlers Navajo turquoise (even brighter than tropical blue?)

7) Noodlers blue (nice if you're into it)

8) Noodlers Ottoman azure (see 7) ;)

9) Lamy blue (well, you can always dump the ink and use the bottle ...) :lol:

ROFL on the Lamy blue. I hated that (Potty Mouth) so much when i was taking notes, i got up, went to the bathroom, yanked out the cartridge and threw in "blue-black"...which isnt much better....

 

So got a picutre of that diamine royal blue?

Yard-O-Led Blue is the same was Diamine Royal Blue.

 

Bleh, I hate the Lamy Blue cartridge that came with my Lamy Safari too.

Thank you FPN'ers for your help and opinions about blue ink for work. There are so many nice ones... gue$$ I will have to try them all over time. I am trying to curb my pen addition (or transfer it at least) for less costly ink addiction.

Thank you for posting these samples. I was looking for a comparison between a few of the ones that you posted. Now I know what I am going to order next time I call Sam up at Pendemonium. :)

Sincerely yours,

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
