Legal Lapis (Noodlers) is my ink of choice.Other than some ‘nib creep’ (annoying), it performs remarkably well.I am interested in additional views and opinions.Thanks.

I really like Legal Lapis and it's my only "permanent" ink. I've had a bottle for ages, since I rotate among many different inks. It is not as dark as a normal black. I like its greenish tint.

I like Legal Lapis and have kept it in one of my edc for several years. I consider it a dark teal rather than a lapis blue, though. Legal Lapis and Violet Vote are the only inks for which I have backup bottles.

Like the ink. It is one of my blue black go tos. Only issue is occasional staining. It comes off with light scrubbing, but keeps me from putting it in just any pen.

It is one of those colors that had to grow on me. It is one of my all time favorites now. Being bulletproof is a great bonus. I once sprayed cleaner on a page I had just written to demonstrate that. :D

Please describe “violet vote” ink?

Manufacturer.

Thanks.

I literally sold my bottle of violet vote this weekend and dropped it in the mail to the buyer today, but I think I can do it:

 

Came out in mid 2000's. Was a color that perfectly matched the thumbs the Iraquis showed off to symbolize they voted in their first election. Had a nice picture of some place in Iraq on the cover. The ink is at least partially permanent. I think some people complained about it staining pens, but I am not one who experienced it. Flushed right out with no issues whatsoever. My bottle is the only 4.5 oz bottle I'd seen. Every other version I have ever known is a 3oz bottle. Maybe there was a formula difference. I have no idea.

 

I sold it because, frankly, I love the color purple and I realized I had too darn many. It was a chalky purple, and that alone wasn't a favorite, but every time my hand drifted to grab it, I'd find another purple and say, "yeah! I wanna ink up that one instead!" After a year of passing it by, I realized it was time to pass on to someone who might appreciate it more than 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..

      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
