The Super Duper Co-Razy Parker Penman Sapphire - Blue - Comparisons Psp

[amberleadavis]

And just look how different the same ink, written on the same paper, with the same pen, scans when next to other blues. PPS just looks different in these scans, but I wrote all forty pages in one night.

[penultress]

And it is interesting to note, that PPS is radically different depending on the ink flow. So, for example in the swab, you would be dang hard pressed to tell the difference between PPS and Eel Blue or PRAB, but when others have written with PRAB, they say it is different. Well, I did use a HUGE nib. PPS may not look the same with a small nib.

 

So true, so true.

[Noihvo]

I'll add 4001 Königsblau to my sample, just because that is the last one that I have, that hasn't been mentioned yet, not that it would really look like PPS. Boy, wouldn't that be ironic?

[amberleadavis]

Penultress, you also have Island Blue, can you try it if I get you another sheet? I just got Migo's back and I think it too is close.

BTW, I love Sargasso Sea, but dang is it hard to clean.

[mhguda]

Amber, I could do another sheet, since you still haven't sent them all out. In which case, can you send some extra empties of the same paper you write on? Then, if I run out of space, I can take another sheet and lay it over the existing one and continue with more inks...

I've made a new batch of Love potion #9 and it is different from the older one, so I'm definitely in for a repeat exercise and maybe a change of mind... but I need the same paper you wrote on to be sure of how much it approaches the real thing. Can I Paypal the 1.25 directly to you?

Yes, I can. I didn't use it as it was already represented. #13's looks good. I can do as mhguda suggests and lay a sheet over what I've done or use that lined one that's really nice paper! It's lined, 3-hole punched. Is it Tops?

[amberleadavis]

Oh, that's the Staples Sugarcane that everyone raves about. My local stores don't sell it but the last time I was online, I found it.

[amberleadavis]

Okay, so I have two takers for more sheets with PPS and some extra sheets of the same paper. Is that okay with everyone?

Back on page one I did a scan that included PPS in a medium wet Kaigelu and PRAB in a medium dry Parker 51. They look almost identical, fit if I do them in the same dipped pen the PRAB is noticeably wetter and darker.

I am going to re-do my samples with a dipped nib, and will include some Diamine inks as well.

[penultress]

Are you counting me as one of the two takers?

 

I'm getting more and more interested in PRAB

[UDog]

Has anyone done a tally of how many inks have gone up against PPS?

LuMA has a list - see post #176

Amber posted some more reviews so I need to update the list but like Migo said, it's a pretty long list

How can so many blues not be "quite the same" ?!!

(I'm slightly embarrassed at how fussy I've become)

I'm getting a second sheet and will be adding KWZI Azure 5 and De Atramentis Royal Blue, and probably a couple of others.

[penultress]

Here is #16 again - this time with Kobe #37 Island Blue in my Omas Bologna with Binder CI and 3 different papers: Tomoe river, Clairefontaine and Rhodia Dot. To my eyes, the Clairefontaine is most blue, though on this scan, it could be Rhodia.

That is very weird indeed. Your #37 looks purple next to PPS. My #37 is definitely much closer to the PPS on the sheet sent to me by Amberlea. In fact, it was quite difficult to tell the difference between the two.

To me, it has practically no magenta undertones (typical of many Sailor blue inks).

(I was also thinking that maybe the name "Island Blue" was also an indication that it was not intended to be a purple-blue - but what's in a name).

 

Another ink mystery.
