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.

      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
