Hello everyone!
I just purchased a Pilot Vanishing Point from a local pen store, and naturally I want an ink to match. Any ideas?

The pen: http://cdn-tp1.mozu.com/6639-8588/cms/8588/files/ff8a8740-e169-43dd-96a9-0e81680d8b31

I recommend that you should look through some blue Ink Reviews on here, to see if there is one that you like.

 

However, if I had this pen and wanted to match it up with a great ink, I would use Diamine Tchaikovsky from the Music Set. (Now available in 30ml refill bottles from Diamine)

Diamine Majestic Blue, Sargasso Sea or Bilberry.

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

If you want to try a Pilot ink (they do seem to do particularly well in Pilot pens), how about Iroshizuku Asa-gao?

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Pilot Iroshizuku - Deep Blue (Deep Azure Blue), bit pricy but a nice blue...

 

on a budget I would go for Parker Quink Royal Blue (good allrounder in my opinion)

I vote Sailor / Kobe #14 Maya Lapis. It's one of my favorites. Below is a writing sample from Saskia Madding.

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'm going to go against the grain and recommend an ink I've never used, but still find appealing: Iroshizuku Shin-Kai -- Deep Blue Sea.
