This is a photo of the page, not a scanned image. The paper is Rhodia (made by Clairefontaine), so should it really be whiter, but the actual ink color looks fairly close to what's on my monitor.



A larger image is here.

Is it a keeper? It's nice, but I'm holding out for a brighter blue. Maybe straight Noodlers blue will be the one ...

For a really bright blue try a mix of Waterman Florida and South Sea blues.

Hi Martin,

Could you post an image of the resulting colour? I'm still looking for the perfect blue... Never bought the South Sea blue somehow (even if it is required for an recipe for indigo that I want to try someday.)

Looks nice. I have the Aquamarine, but no PR inks (drying time problems for us lefties). Just a thought, but a very bright blue might result from Aquamarine and South Seas Blue mix.
