These are my favorite kinds of blues. Sky High is on the left, Bocchan Blue in the middle, and Shioya Blue on the right. These three inks are quite close, but they offer very subtle differences (which don't come across very well in this photo, unfortunately): Bocchan Blue has less green than Sky High and is more matte, less bright, than Shioya Blue. All three are (IMO) beautiful inks, but if you already have Shioya Blue, I'm not sure the expense of the Bocchan Blue is justifiable. I got my bottle of Bocchan Blue before trying out the Shioya Blue; if I hadn't, I think I'd be happy with the Kobe.

Thanks for posting this. With so many blue inks, I find that Sailor has a blue ink for every occasion.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Those are beautiful thank you for sharing. Did you try any of those next to the PPS? I may need to send you another sheet, you have some great blues.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I'll put the Kobe and the Bocchan Blue on there. After that, I think I'll be out of room!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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.
