Hello there,

 

I am thinking of dedicating my new Pilot Custom 823 Clear Demonstrator to one of the following inks:

 

Visconti Blue

Noodler's Aircorp

Noodler's Navy

Akkerman Shocking Blue

Akkerman Blue-Green

 

Does anybody know if those inks stain the barrel of said 823 demonstrator?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Luis

Visconti blue won't stain.

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

I have the amber one and am using Cult Pens/Diamine Deep Dark Brown. they go together well but there are no obvious signs of staining.

My amber 823 came with a bottle of Pilot Blue and that's all I've ever put into it. The pen has been inked continuously ever since I received it in mid-2009. It's fast-drying, doesn't feather and it's waterproof. I've been really happy with that ink.

Used both Noodler's, without any stainig problem.

 

Only problem I ever had with my three 823 (one for each color), the ink (any ink) can remain trapped behind the inner cap (see here).

Sorry about bumping an old thread but i'm also thinking on getting some Noodlers Navy and want to know the same thing. Just as a review, that ink will not stain a demonstrator right? More specifically a Vac700 where the ink will be right on the insides of the pen.

I've never had trouble with the Noodler's Blue staining a pen. A caveat worth mentioning is that I have never used it in a TWSBI 700. Of course, until the day I gave it away, none of the inks I used ever stained that pen, including a selection of Noodler's inks.

Okay, good enough approval for me. Thank you!

I would recommend trying to use the same ink, or at least inks of a similar hue. It can be a bit of pain to clean and if you use something very deep and saturated it might leave tiny little traces (especially around the little rubber bung head) and slightly spoil the next ink if it is something light.

I have ama-iro in mine at the moment and it looks cool.

I did use Noodler's Blue in a Vac 700 with no staining issues.

      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..

      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
