Don't forget to take my flex pen poll and win a brand new, high performance flex pen!

 

So I was on my quest for the perfect blue when I heard about a vibrant, waterproof, true blue. I jumped at the chance to try it. So far, my favorite pen to use with this ink is a Parker 21, and I just adore it with plain, basic cursive italic. post-101589-0-47686100-1395929915_thumb.jpeg

 

Here are some comparison photos of some comparable blues on a few papers:

 

World's cheapest notebook paper. (I bought 200 sheets of this stuff for about 50¢ in 1998. It actually accepts inks pretty well, so while it's the cheapest paper I've ever bought, and is see-through, I'm beginning to think it's not THAT bad.)

I bought a bottle not long after it was released and although I don't use it much, it's a nice bright ink and I've not had any problems with it is the few pens I've used with it. Great review too!

I highly recommend this ink for a nice vibrant blue with some water-resistance. I've been using this ink for almost 2 years now for work and journaling.

 

Only one caveat, after 3 or 4 fills, I recommend flushing the pen clean with water. This maintenance is true for any pen/ink but more so for this ink.

 

Again, I use this everyday and I have this ink in 9 out of 16 pens currently inked.

Thanks,

 

Franz

It's a great color. I have a rare 16 oz bottle of the stuff.

My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

Thank you for the review. Your penmanship is impressive!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Forgot how much I liked this ink -- so much so that I filled a pen with Liberty's Elysium this morning (I have a slight preference for Noodler's Manhattan Blue) and was instantly cheered by its bright color (I like BSB, but that has slight violet undertones to it -- in addition to its staining issues; plus, sometimes I just don't want that much eye-sear on my retinas... :lol:).

Thanks for the review.

I was reading too quickly and saw "violent" undertones. I thought, OH, yes, BSB does have violent undertones. :)

Wow, very pretty. May have to give that a sample in the near future, very nice shading and effects.

Obviously the sort of ink one needs in certain situations.

I must break out my bottle of BSB next time I need to write to particular bank underlings who are giving me an inappropriately hard time...

Yes, because in the words of Chicago .. that bank underling "had it coming".

A very vibrant and mostly well behaved blue. I have had one issue - it leaves dry crusty bits around the threads of the bottle. I was concerned about it drying out like that in my pen. For a long time, I had no problems so I didn't worry about it. Just recently, I was going to refill the pen (a Pelikan M600), and discovered that both the nib and piston were frozen and wouldn't unscrew. First time I've had that happen. It took a lot of soaking in water to unglue it. I'm less happy with it now.

Thanks for the great review. I love this ink and the beautiful color, especially in a broad nib. The only issue I have had is it tends to dry up in the nib which makes me have to keep it capped if I don't plan on writing for more than 30 seconds.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
