Help!!

I have just put Skies of Blue into my trusty Lamy 2000 and the ink just soaks the page on several different types of paper. I have used Levenger's Cobalt Blue and Cocoa without this problem. Does anyone have any experience with this ink or any words of wisdom? I really do like the color and would hate to give it up. Does Private Reserve or Noodler's have a similar color?

Thanks.

I have the exact same problem with skies of blue. It is a pretty colour but it bleeds right through most paper it's one of the worst I've seen for this.

Since 99% of my blue writing is in log books at work (about 30 pages a day) that are shared with other people and we use both sides, I can't really use this ink.

Haven't seen anyone make the comment for a while, but some time back SOB was spoken of as the ink to try if one had a pen with a stingy flow because it flows so freely.

It doesn't seem that wet, thought it must be to bleed through like that. I should give it a shot in my Carene, thought I think it just seems dry from manufacturing oils.
