It is a fairly good ink for lubrication and works wonderfully in fine points and dry writers too. I've never really noticed any significant amount of nib creep with this ink.

I think since my safari is a medium I am getting a lot of flow. Therefore, the nib creep. I love the color. It pops out at you.

I know Aurora Black is my best lubricating ink and can make any pen feel better, does the Blue act to a similar degree?

So far I have only used it in my lamy medium nib. It is very smooth. The nib creep thing bothers me though. I am going to try it in my alstar with a fine nib and see how that goes. As soon as I run out. that is.My fine nib is real smooth with herbin in it. I love it.

Blue is quite good (better than most blues around) but not as much as black in lubricating action. I normally have two pens with similar nibs, one with blue, other with black Aurora always with me.

I like Aurora Blue quite a bit. It along with Visconti blue (my #1) and Waterman Florida Bleu are my top three Blue inks.

 

I have not experienced any nib creep with Aurora Blue....but some with Aurora Black on a couple of pens.

      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.
