Sailor Jentle Brown With Private Reserve Chocolat - What'dya Think?

[Maurizio]

I like Sailor Jentle brown, it flows really nicely. I'd like to boost its color saturation a bit. Do you think it is safe to mix some Private Reserve Choclat with some Sailor? What worries me is the chance of creating a precipitate that will clog up my nice pens.

 

Anyone already try mixing any PR with any Jentle ink?

I wouldn't recommend mixing those two. In general inks are neutral, except the Baystate line (from Noodlers) which is more acidic (lower ph) and the Japanese inks which are more basic (higher ph).

 

I would stick to mixing PR inks with PR inks and Japanese inks with Japanese inks.

Ok thanks Cyber6 for your knowledge. Glad I asked here first.

 

I know enough not to mix Baystate Blue with anything, but that's pretty much the extent of my ink knowledge. Didn't know about Noodler's being acidic or that Japanese inks were basic. For my own edification, what happens when you mix acid with base? Do you you get neutral plus precipitate or even sludge?

 

 

 

PS

Love Tornoto. Visited it a few times while in school in Buffalo. Remember that it was neat a cleaner and more well behaved than NYC while being just as cool and cosmopolitan.

Hope you mean Toronto.. :lol: ...

 

 

And just to be clear.. not ALL Noodlers, just the Baystate line that has a lower ph.

 

I will imagine that mixing lower ph and higher ph can be problematic. But my extent of chemistry knowledge finish there..

 

I love the color of Jentle Brown... but if I wanted to mix with something, I would add a drop of a dark green... :wub:

Oh gosh yes of course Toronto. What I get for posting after work and tired and not proofreading properly.

 

Well now, you've only made me curious. I have some Pelikan 4001 Green. Would addition of that to the Sailor make it a darker, richer brown or would it just look muddy and grey? Have you tried such a mixture?
