Blue Ink Comparison Visconti : Private Re Serve : Waterman : Rohere & Klinger

[sirote.b]

Hello guys,

I am a newbie in this Fountain pen network.

Normally, I use the Waterman florida blue as my standard blue ink but from time to time, i feel bored with this blue shade.

So I find my a new blue shade ink. Consequently, I read many reviews in Internet and also bought several blue inks.

Last Monday, i ordered the Visconti blue ink and I want to share my comparison to you guys.

Here is information on my comparison.

Pen: Pelikan m605,405, 140 and Rotring Newton.

Ink: Waterman florida blue, Visconti blue, Private reserve American blue, Private reserve DC supershow blue, Rohrer & klinger royal blue.

Paper: Clairfontaine 90g/m2

 

Enjoy!

Welcome and thanks for the lovely comparison.

Visconti is my fave out of those, although I am tempted to pop a bottle of the R&K in the cart next time I place a Writing Desk order.

 

Which is your favourite?

[JDV]

I like the Visconti, too.

Thank you for this comparison. I've been considering a bottle of Visconti Blue, and this is certainly helpful. Any comments on how these inks compare when it comes to being waterproof?

Thank you Graphophile !!

Actually, I like the blue shade of Noodler' bay state blue and try to find an alternative.

I also ordered Pilot Asa gao but unfortunately, it may take 2 more weeks until it arrives Germany.

For now, I will stay with PR American blue as my favorite.

 

By the way,I think the design of Visconti inkwell is cool but it is not so practical, and it should not be Plastic )

Nice colors. Thanks

Hallo guys,

I want to update the comparison of my blue inks. Last week, I got a wonderful Pilot iroshizuku Asa-gao.

So I did the further comparison on my last work.

Personally, I like Pilot Asa-gao very much, I think it is more lively than Visconti blue.

enjoy !!

Nice comparison. You've got a good collection of pens and ink there. Fountain Pen Fun is what this site is all about.

Thanks for the review.

Hello bone215,

I suppose that you mean flow of these inks.

I personally feel that the flow of these inks are almost the same.

Visconti Blue seems to be the winner to me, followed by Asa-Gao.

[Parc Monceau]

Thank you for these comparisons. The Asa-Gao seems the most striking to me.

Fabulous shading on the Visconti, at a price though. R&K is a personal favourite. It is cheerful and has a wet flow in a B nib on my EDC Kaweco Sport.
