How long did it actually take to dry?

Hi!

 

The ink took about 35 seconds to dry. Quite a long time indeed.

 

Cheers,

Martin.

Interesting. It looks quite a bit darker than what I expected.

 

The scan looks a little dark.... My Serenity Blue is not that dark for sure. Looks like the colour is very close to MB Royal Blue which should give an indication of the hue.

 

Thanks for the review :thumbup:

I have this in a TWSBI 580 (fine nib) and enjoy it a lot. Results in that particular pen are quite a bit brighter than the sample above. Have not tried in a finer nib yet.

Hello!

 

After looking back, the scan is indeed a bit dark! My apologies.

Hopefully the ink comparisons included will help you get a good idea of the actual color on paper!

 

Cheers,

Martin.

Nice review, and I like this ink as well. I agree your scan appears a little dark.

 

This is a little closer to the actual color.

How does it compare to Montblanc royal blue?

Are the two colours (Caran d'ache and MB royal blue) almost identical?

I would say MB Royal Blue is a little lighter than Idyllic Blue. The colours are however similar.

It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
