Hi

I put a drop of Caran d'Ache Night Blue ink on a piece of sheet filter paper. Look at the result: on the blot ink we can see a true deep blue border; the rest is quite black. May I consider this ink as a Blue-Black one?

Thank you

Yep, according to Pendemonium's Ink Facts, Caran D'Ache Blue Night is a blue-black ink with little if any added green.

Hi

With my Parker Sonnet medium nib, Caran d'Ache Blue Night hasn't a good flow sad.gif . The ink dries frequently on nib if not used daily. Since I don't use the pen daily, what can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks

When a nib dries out for me, I usually hold it under a light drizzle of water to flush it out. After I dry the nib (with toilet paper), it is good for a full day.

I think my problem is the way how I keep the pen: nib up! ohmy.gif On the other hand, Caran d'Ache is less 'wet' than other inks, like Waterman, for example, and dries faster. Dry and hot weather helps too.
