I've always liked this ink. I don't like it as much as Waterman Florida Blue or Sheaffer Blue, but I keep a bottle around to use in my Montblanc pens.

A well behaved, smooth flowing ink. Not as dark as some might like, but still a very traditional type of blue.

I bought about six boxes of this Royal Blue ink a little over 20 years ago, then tossed them into a drawer and forgot about them. After sucking out the ink from a few cartridges recently, I'd relabel them "Royal Blechh". They turned into a muddy blue black. But the ink looks great on your picture, chkuo...

I find that Mont Blanc inks dry and "corrode" in the pen much more and fr faster than other inks. Anyone else feel the same?

Blue - I have used Montbalnc blue over a little period (when I couldn't get blue-black).

 

Its a nice "powerful" blue - I think it flows "wetter" from my Meisterstück than Blue-Black...

 

Ink drying or oxidising in pens - no problem for me...

 

Drying on paper - depends on how wet/dry your pen writes really, if it puts down a lot of ink it'll dry slowly.

Does it really corrode the pen? MB recommends using their inks for their pens (a warranty can be voided if it finds out you are using non-MB ink and the warranty claim is related to that ink). I thought all of MB inks are safe to their fine nibs and entire feed / piston system (and to other brand pens).

      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
