Noodler's Baystate Cape Cod Cranberry

[jleeper]

Hi, this is my first review. I recieved this and Baystate Blue in an exchange. The first experience with Baystate Blue left me with a lot of feathering and a bit of staining. The Baystate Cranberry didn't have those problems. I also used it on Staples bagasse comp book and legal pad; no problems on that or the Discovery Premium Select copy paper the review is written on. I find the Discovery copy paper to be rather FP friendly.

Hi, this is my first review.

Please do more! Your first is very useful. I've been curious about the "other" Baystates, and this answers many of my questions. Thanks for the effort.

Tried my sample of this color and what a vibrant color. Wow! Really eye popping.

 

I do want to add a note that after filling my converter with a syringe I went to flush the syringe and when I squirted it into the sink, after I had diluted with water, it stained the stainless eteel sink! I had to bleach it to get the stain to go away. I wanted to try BSB but now am very afraid if it stains worse than this.

Great review, thanks.

I too was expecting a color closer to a cranberry. Pink definitely the color and what a pink at that. This ink practically glows. It is saturated enough to give really nice contrast on the page.

BS Blue is waterproof. The concord grape is a close second and the pink is least water tight of the bunch.

Pink and purple (cranberry and grape) certainly stick to the page with a vengeance under running water, but bleed some.

I tried this in my yellow Lamy Safari and it stained the yellow where I dipped it in the ink to fill, couldn't find my syringe, big mistake. The color is nice but it is the same pink color that's found in Pilot Varsity Pink. That was a bummer, and after a few weeks of using the stain did disappear somewhat.

The ink writes very nice and I found it to be very water proof. I took a sample and let in sit in a sink of water and I couldn't tell the before and after difference.
