Hey thanks Amberlea --- Just after I had posted that there weren't any reviews listed in the index for this ink, I found the following one when I Googled. Organics Studio Jane Austen Violet - Ink Reviews - The Fountain Pen Network

 

It shows practically no water resistance, so I'm curious about yours, which you say has good water resistance. Is the second batch better at this than the first?

I bought some Jane Austen Violet from a seller on Amazon because I'd seen it mentioned on this forum as a water-resistant purple.

 

Perhaps there are different batches. Mine has no water resistance worth mentioning. My test is simple. Write on a test page, wait a couple of minutes, soak under the faucet in the sink, dry the page on top of a paper towel. The J.A.V. did not vanish completely under this treatment, but it smeared and ran to the point of illegibility. I didn't take pictures, but there's no point. The stuff I have is not water resistant.

My water resistant test in the review linked above is to drip some droplets on the top half, then run a dripping wet finger across the bottom half twice. Mostly to simulate coffee or tea spills. Some inks like a lot of Herbins or Frank Baum from OS series disappear completely. This ink bleeds, but does leave a trace. I wouldn't consider it water proof, nor would I say it's strongly water resistant, but I consider it somewhat resistant if you can recover your writing.

Well, from the test above, you can see that it didn't wash out. The test was a very wet paint bush and I let it dry on it's own. I'll do more tests on the review sheets later this week.

I decided I would do some pictures after all. My test is to put the paper in the sink and run the water on it full, then put the paper on top of a paper towel to dry. Maybe too severe, but there are some inks that have no problem with it, as you can see. Used a dip pen for the Jane Austen, as I didn't want to fill another fountain pen with it right now.

 

This is still actually better than the last time I tried it. Maybe different paper, or perhaps I'd given it a few extra minutes to dry.

Yeah, I'd define something that could survive as well as that waterproof, rather than just resistant. And perhaps it's a matter of personal terminology here.

 

Noodler's Fox being a perfect example. That's one of the Eternal Ones and I'd call it waterproof. With Namiki Blue being one that's *very* resistant. But there are plenty of inks that can survive a splash better than others that'd file up under those.

 

Water resistant is a broad scale. 'How resistant?' is really the question. From 'not at all' through 'not much really' into 'pretty resistant' on up to 'very resistant'.

 

I think some people seem to not really consider something water resistant unless it's just a little below being actually waterproof.

Yes, I'd be one of those people. Of course, water resistance is not that important for some, and being careful is always an option. On the other hand, if you're going to use water-resistance as an actual factor in deciding whether to get an ink, then it makes sense to get one that's very water-resistant. This is insurance against accidents, and accidents are unpredictable.

 

It may still be interesting to know about lesser degrees of water resistance if you're defining the properties of an ink that you intend to use anyway.

I'd definitely agree with you that it's important to know which ones hold up to water the best. But I'd consider those--at least the examples you've given--to be waterproof rather than just water resistant. Just using the terminology in some prior threads like

this one

 

and this one (which I had thought was pinned, but apparently isn't)

I call it water resistant if I can doodle with it, hit it with a paint brush and still read it. I also consider that the coffee survival test. If I can spill coffee on it and still read it, it's acceptable. If I can't read it after walking in the rain (and we don't have that much rain here in Las Vegas), then it isn't water resistant. Very few inks are water proof (imo).

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

Okay, a few tests later.  I take back my OS-JAV suggestion unless you add Ghost Blue which improves the water resistance of any ink I've tried.  Also, I think the JAV that was water resistant had a splash of something else in it, but I'm not sure what because the prior ink was R&K Soferino which is hot pink.  Also, the recent test has phenol because I add it to all my new bottles of ink, though I've been told it does not change the water resistance or color.

 

Anyway, here is the result:

      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

      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
