Which blue ink is easiest to remove from skin and clothes? Is its tendency to stain directly related to its fastness on paper?

I've never had problems with Waterman Florida Blue. Seems to wash right out of everything I get it on (shirts, towels, skin...)

It's only an addiction if you try to stop.

Water soluble inks with low saturation and lighter colors would all be about the same, I think. I've washed a lot of Parker washable blue and Pelikan blue out of things...I agree with the Waterman above too as an excellent choice. The key to this, as with all stains, is to have some pre-soaking time, wash soon and completely and not put something into the dryer until the stain is out (usually for me requires two wash cycles).

Pelikan Royal Blue is used by thousands of German elementary school kids because it's so easily cleaned up. Plus, every stationery store sells the little Staedtler ink eradicators which breaks down blue inks without leaving any residue.

I always get a kick out of these "no affiliation" notations when it's blatantly obvious the poster has absolutely nothing to do with the brand, company, etc. beyond being a customer. It must be a feel-good/feel-important thing. So I'll note up front that nothing I write here on this forum is influenced by any financial-gain motivation.

How about Noodlers Blue ghost.... I never notice if I get any on my skin...

If you opt to wear 100% polyester clothing (e.g. are livin' in the '70s), then you can safely use Noodlers Bulletproof inks.roflmho.gif

Those colors would make good cycling clothes; No driver could claim to not seeing you on the road.

What about diluting the ink, does that make it less likely to stain? WOuld that change its properties?

Fortunately for me, I seem to only "stain" my clothes with Skrip and Waterman inks, which disappear after about five minutes under the faucet.

J. Herbin in general is very easy to flush/wash/clean. How about Diamine Washable Blue? The name is quite suggestive to being 'washable'!

That's once heck of a mental image. A Bay State Cranberry ascot would give it just the right finish.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
