You can find the calligraphy ink Stuart Houghton blue in the current catalog of the Manuscript Pen Company Ltd. from Shropshire UK.

 

I hope you will enjoy this short review.

Thanks Mephisto. This gives a good impression.

 

One question: they say never use calligraphy ink in your FP, unless you are absolutely sure about what you are doing. Is this ink suitable for FPs?

Yes, it is. Because it is an accessory to their "Calligraphy pens", which are fountain pens.

 

It's a beautiful colour, too! :clap1:

As far as I know Manuscript has two lines of ink: Calligraphy for dip pens, and Fountain Pen Ink - clearly labeled as such - for fountain pens. Their newer bottles are clearly labeled "dip pen" or "fountain pen," but the older bottles, which look like what you show, were not. I WOULD NOT use that ink in a fountain pen. Another clue as to that being dip pen only is the fact that it says to shake before using; that is a pigment-based ink, not dye-based. If you haven't clogged a pen with that ink, you're very lucky.

Hey, this is my firts contribution!

 

I had one of this S.H. blue ink and, for me, it is one of the most beautiful colours one could see!

I have a sad story with it exactly because I used it in one of my FP! Being a stupid child on that time, I didnt read the bottle and also didnt know anything about using deep pen inks in FP... Sad child story of mine.

Now I want some help. Im trying to find a good FP ink that is similar to this S.H. Blue Calligraphy Ink. Do any one knows which one I could use? Im thinking about Diamine Asa Blue. Would they be similar?

 

PS. Sorry for the English use.
