Delta Blue

[girlieg33k]

I started a new rotation of pens this week. While I was inking pens, I decided to handwrite a few mini-reviews on each ink, with swab samples. To save time, I scanned everything, so colors may vary depending on your monitor. I'm limited to posting 600pix wide images here, but click on the image or the link below it to view the full-size scanned image. The full-sized image may give a better, sharper representation of each ink color.

Gotta get me some of this. Nice calm color to me.

Delta ink is very hard to source, especially the blue. While I would normally use Pendemonium, the blue always seems to be out of stock. So, I have just ordered some from The Ink Flow. Bartram's apparently sells it as well, though I have not tried to order it from them.

Awesome. Thanks!

It looks to me to be a bit like Diamine royal blue or tropical blue.

Yeah, but if she says it looks like Omas and Visconti blue, then it must be closer to Lake Placid than either of those two.

 

I've got a bottle of Omas blue and Sailor and am not too impressed with the Sailor, but she says it's close to Sailor. (If I'm the one who doesn't know what he's talking about here, it's not the first time.)

I'm using the Delta Blue in my Sailor Naginata with bold nib now. Not a very impressive blue. Flow is good, however, and it doesn't seem to feather much if at all. Think I'll stick with any of the other wide choices of blue out there such as Waterman's Florida Blue or Levenger's Cobalt Blue.
