Ink Least Likely To Stain Skin And Clothes

[brescd01]

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

[Violet]

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

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.

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

Looking at my hands right now, I have to say no to diamine majestic blue being easily washable. Heh. Lamy blue?

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

Made me think of a BSB leisure suit with a Dragon's Napalm shirt.

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

I'd go with Waterman Florida Blue.

all the "school kid" blues;

 

Lamy Blue

Pelikan Royal Blue

Waterman Florida Blue

Sheaffer Skrip Blue

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

[bphollin]

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, the only ink I trust in white celluloid pens.

[GouletPens]

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.
