"bulletproof" Blue Suggestions


Xaotic Script

Surprised it hasn't come up, but check out the De Atramentis document inks. They are permanent and adhere to ISO standards for that. They're also fairly easy to come across, and appear to be fairly well behaved, at least from the reviews (which there are several of on fpn).

Mafia, I am with you, I really like the DeA Doc inks. Finding the Yellow has been a challenge. The Doc inks are my go to mixing inks. Adding a dash of Doc ink Turquoise or Magenta to any other ink improves the flow and water resistance of any other ink. If you have an ink you like but it is a tad dry and not water proof at all, add a dose of Doc Ink. I am so happy with the two inks I tend to gush.

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

Now, HDoug has decluttered and even deinked from hundreds to perhaps 20. So, his recommendations carry weight.

I've been using this for the past few years. Well behaved and quite water resistant.

Is the pigmented ink hard to clean or staining? I always stayed away because it's pigmented, but if amber trusts your opinion, I'm curious...

How does it compare to let's say bulletproof black. Or maybe 1670 Rouge hematite (the good kind that sheens). Or maybe what other ink would you compare it to for its ease, or lack thereof, for cleaning. Maybe I have it lol.

Have you left it in a pen for a while? Results on difficulty of cleaning?

Thanks and sorry for so many questions.

      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
