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

I've read a lot of good things about this ink. It seems to be one of those inks that is hard to beat for what you pay for it. Unfortunately, it leaning more towards blue than to black is exactly what kept me from buying it so far.

 

 

 

And on a slightly related sidenote... I decided to try the Sailor Jentle Blue Black in my Vac 700, as it writes a little more wet than the 580AL. Works like a charm (so far). But I did find out that Sailor Jentle bottles are #*$&%#^$!!! to pour ink out of (I was trying to fill up my Vac 20 ink bottle). What a mess (and yes, I took the plastic reservoir thingy out first...). Next time I'll use a syringe, good thing I have a few 25ml ones left from when I had a drain in my gut...

Glad you made a choice. Can't wait to see your findings.

For reference so you can see if my swatches match your inks.

My favourite blue-black ink is Noodler's 54th Massachusetts which I use to write daily. It is a beautiful, bulletproof blue-black ink. Love it.

Huh? What? Have I made a choice?

The Sailor Jentle ink is what I'm looking to replace as it doesn't meet my requirements for an everyday ink. :)

Hmm.... it (the Sailor Jentle Blue Black) does meet all of the requirements I need for my pens. And the smell of phenol is a treat on top!

      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.
