I picked up both of the new colours at Avalon this past weekend, and had a chance to test them out. Here's my review of the "Invincible" Aqua Blue. I have not yet had a chance to test it's permanence yet, though. I might try and do that sometime this week.

 

It has this slight pastel colour to it that I really had a hard time trying to adjust the scan for.

 

Please forgive my poor penmanship :)

Nice review, to the point and for me it was very easy to read, your penmanship is not poor it is in fact quite legible.

If anything like the other pastel blue permanent inks I have, it might look even darker when used in a finer nib pen.

I have Polar Blue and Luxury Blue by Noodler's, both waterproof and permanent as is this one and both look darker when written from Fine nibs.

If anything like my Noodler's permanent or "bulletproof" blues, it should stand up against anything you throw at it, including pure undiluted bleach.

Thanks!

 

“I view my fountain pens & inks as an artist might view their brushes and paints.

They flow across paper as a brush to canvas, transforming my thoughts into words and my words into art.

There is nothing else like it; the art of writing and the painting of words!”

Does anyone have any information on what Private Reserve means by Invincible? The bottle comes with absolutely no information. The label just shows the name of the ink, and nothing else. (The label doesn't even say how much ink is in the bottle.)

 

I just tried this ink for the first time, writing on Staple's bagasse paper with a wet Levenger medium nib. I was disappointed to see that it feathered significantly. This may be an ink that requires good paper to show its best qualities. I'll be trying it with other combinations of pen and paper to see how it behaves.

Some pertinent info in this thread.

      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
