If you're doing another test, I would really like to see how Pilot Blue (or Namiki Blue, I'm pretty sure they're the same) holds up.

What is the BSB you're mentioning in some of the mixes?

 

BSB should only be mixed with the other Baystate Colors - Cape Cod Cranberry and Concord Grape.

 

CCC is one of my favorite ink colors. CCC is completely obnoxious and as eye searing as BSB but it's hot pink. The color is so bright, it's probably out lawed in communities that have any "taste". Thankfully, I live in Las Vegas so "tacky" is an adjective with which I am familiar.

Although it is not water proof or fade proof - I use BSB and CCC in all my fade experiments because it is an ink I know to fade quickly - so I can easily show the changes over time. However, even after it fades, the BS inks show up under black light.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I bought a bottle just for you!! Remind me when we do our next test. I'm thinking a six month experiment.

I think I'll need to try the Midway Blue. That looks like a shade of blue I might like, and is the most impressive not-super-dark blue test I've seen. That and Luxury Blue, but from online pictures I think I like the Midway color better.

 

Midway is the ink I recommend the most often. The color is vibrant without being obnoxious (though see above, I like obnoxious). The ink is water resistant enough for all but long term soaking. Most importantly, Midway doesn't clog up my pens and it doesn't fade. (And we all know I'm abusive).

 

That said, I always have a pen inked with Luxury Blue. That's because I sue banks and I am determined that you will always be able to tell my ORIGINAL signature - put some UV light on that baby.

I haven't had it up long enough to be sure it won't go, but Siren Blue (Scribal Work Shop; you should have sample if Ink Drop) is holding up so far (about 3 weeks). It is a dark blue, not a vibrant blue, but I like it.

 

So far, all 3 Scribal colors I have up (green, blue, black) are either not fading, or doing it very slowly (which is good enough for me).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
