How long did it actually take to dry?

Hi!

 

The ink took about 35 seconds to dry. Quite a long time indeed.

 

Cheers,

Martin.

Interesting. It looks quite a bit darker than what I expected.

 

The scan looks a little dark.... My Serenity Blue is not that dark for sure. Looks like the colour is very close to MB Royal Blue which should give an indication of the hue.

 

Thanks for the review :thumbup:

I have this in a TWSBI 580 (fine nib) and enjoy it a lot. Results in that particular pen are quite a bit brighter than the sample above. Have not tried in a finer nib yet.

Hello!

 

After looking back, the scan is indeed a bit dark! My apologies.

Hopefully the ink comparisons included will help you get a good idea of the actual color on paper!

 

Cheers,

Martin.

Nice review, and I like this ink as well. I agree your scan appears a little dark.

 

This is a little closer to the actual color.

How does it compare to Montblanc royal blue?

Are the two colours (Caran d'ache and MB royal blue) almost identical?

I would say MB Royal Blue is a little lighter than Idyllic Blue. The colours are however similar.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @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
