I have loaded two pens with de Atramentis Document Blue today, newly arrived. A Lamy Vista medium and the Georg Jensen 18K-fine.

 

I find some feather from a wide watery gushing flow and a horrible amount of bleed-through. And this on the usually completely safe Clairefontaine and Rhodia paper! I have five de Atramentis inks, and they seem largely useless. I rather thought the Document Ink would be of any use ...perhaps I should have known better before I ordered it.

 

This I do not understand: I tested both pens containing "Document Blue" on Clairefontaine DCP Ivory, and there is no to very little bleed-through except once on a double line. It is an overly wide line, almost gushing, but no bleed-through. I think this is the first ink to show bleed-through on hard coated Rhodia and Clairefontaine writing paper, but not on a semi-matte surface.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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.
