My samples of Purple inks are coming in, but let's proceed on to my goal to collect the rainbow.

So how about blues? I don't like blues with hints of purple. I need something like a royal blue.

I will be using Claifontaine tablets. I may use an italic nib/medium, so shading is a bonus.

 

Thanks!!!

Browse thru the samples on the Goulet web site.

 

But be aware that most monitors are not color calibrated, and it is very unlikely that Brian has a color calibrated photo setup. So there is some amount of color variation that the sample is subject to. But a simple reference is the paper he is writing on, it should be WHITE. If you see a color cast on the white paper, then your monitor will not display the ink color correctly.

I've been loving Noodler's Liberty Elysium lately. A true blue that writes really well. Exclusive at Goulet's.

The brightness of a blue is probably due to the presents of a yellow or purple. I think the quiet eloquence of

Private Reserve's DC Supershow Blue is a pure blue.

Noodler's Luxury Blue has some decent shadying (with my medium point Shaeffer Legacy) and is a nice blue, but not eye-grabbing electric blue like the Bay State Blue. Their Upper Ganges Blue is also nice without any violet/purple.

Baystate Blue has a bit too much red in it for my likes - but I know others adore it.

DA Royal Blue is tinged towards purple.

I always thought that purple was the color associated with royalty, hence most Royal Blues contain a certain amount. I have MB Royal Blue cartridges that definitely have some purple in the mix. Noodler's Blue is a great blue to me. Some of the Levenger blues are nice,too.

Baystate blue has a twinge of purple to it. It's a fun ink, but it's pretty mean, too. I have a steel nib I'd swear was stained with it (but it might just be my imagination)

      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.
