My wife bought me a batch of Private Reserve inks for Christmas. Good move on her part -- she ended up buying colors I wouldn't have bought for myself. I get self-conscious when I venture too far away from the traditional blues and blacks.

 

Daphne Blue was a shock to me. It's grown on me as I've used it, but it may take a few years to work my way through the bottle...

Just curious - have you tried photocopying it?

You know, while I was writing the review that idea crossed my mind. I thought about those editing inks that are "invisible" to photocopy machines.

 

I'm dropping by the office today, I'll report to you later on...

I wonder who "Daphne" is??

A. Daphne was a nymph in Greek mythology. Nymphs are associated with fresh-water springs, water flowing from such a spring might be seen as light blue.

B. Daphne Zuniga, Princess Vespa in "Spaceballs". (Hey, why not?)

Take your pick. :lol:

Photocopying is semi-successful.

 

It comes through, but only as a mid-tone shade of gray. Our photocopy machine does pick up on the ink's shading characteristics, though.

Interesting... So it's not really close enough to a "non-repro blue" I guess. Makes sense that it would pick up the darker shaded areas though.

 

I found my non-repro blue pen over the weekend, but go figure - it's as dead as a doorknob. So no luck getting any color sample out of that thing.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >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,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. 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.
