Private Reserve Electric DC Blue

Excellent flow and saturation.

Ive attempted to adjust the white balance on the assumption that you were not, in fact, writing on purple paper.

Hi all,

 

I have a soft spot for PR Electric DC Blue; until Monteverde came out with Horizon Blue, DC Blue was my replacement for Parker's Penman Sapphire.

 

I still keep a bottle in my ink inventory. Thanks for the review, Z. 👍

You can do a lot better when you use Gimp.

Thanks for the nice review. Did you use the original version or the new one ?

Private reserve original owner died some time ago and a new organization took over. Unfortunately the original owner never disclosed his formula  and  some colors now  differ from their original version .

Oh.. yes, I did hear they were undergoing some changes, and now its a new owner. My guess would be this was the old one since when I bought it PR inks were pretty hard to find. - Z

I have a bottle of (I believe) the old version, and I'm very fond of it. It has a beautiful red sheen, but it is a smidge smeary. I bought it because I had read it sheened, and I wanted to know what that was all about. Since I bought it before the current trends spawned all the new sheeny inks from various manufacturers, it will always have a soft spot in my heart for being the first ink to reliably produce the phenomenon (although, evidently, not on absorbent cotton paper).

Hahn.. interesting. the bottle I had didnt sheen well. In fact the blue color was a nice color but it was as flat as flat wall paint.

I have an 'old' bottle.  Had it a long time as because it is so incredibly saturated (like most PR inks), I dilute it considerably.  It has lasted me for ages.
