Have you seen Pelikan Brilliant Red? It's almost totally clear, bright, see-through, transparent. Pity it's a red ink, so I can't use it in my "demonstrator" Pelikan M205 (for fear of staining) - though I know it would look great inside it.
Does anyone know of another very clear ink which won't stain my nice new pen?
Full Version: Very translucent ink?
Pelikan (or their representatives) recommended today Aurora, Waterman and of course Pelikan inks. I have the Waterman Violet in a Pelikan and it does not seem to stain, nor does the Havana.

Thanks for the reply, but it's not non-staining inks I'm asking about, but specifically inks with unusual clarity.
J. Herbin Bleu Azur is reasonably transparent. I currently have it in my Visconti Van Gogh Crystal (a demo) and it looks nice. The other choice would be Noodler's Blue Ghost

I would use Sailor Yellow/Orange. Very translucent.
Delta yellow or one of the other yellow inks.
