La Couleur Royale (? ? ?) - Noodler's


visvamitra

Recommended Posts

There is no doubt in my mind that one or more batches of LCR are a lot more blue. This is sample, and as you can see it is more purple than Visvamitra's sample.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

Please do note that "Chemyst" is not Noodlers', Nathan Tardiff, or anyone representative or representing Noodlers' for that matter.

Warm regards, Wim

Thank you Wim. We still all love Nathan and his work to bring us all truckloads of inky joy. Please pass this on.

 

And we wait for the day when he has a Kekule's Dream of how to make Liberty's Elysium truly bulletproof.

I recently got a bottle of Liberty's Elysium from Goulet's, and I would say LE has a very slight violet tinge that Visvamitra's blue "LCR" doesn't have. In fact the writing sample of that blue LCR looks remarkably close to the sample of "Inkyman Sapphire" that cdwaites posted. It is almost as if Noodler's mixed a batch of Inkyman and put it into bottles labelled LCR.

 

If Noodler's would make Inkyman Sapphire an actual product with semi-predictable color balance then I would buy it in a second, as I really miss the old Penman Sapphire (but not enough to pay $95 for NOS bottles.)

 

Well, I guess it is not hard to guess my favorite color from my moniker...

Addendum to the above post:

I went back to read amberleadavis's and other's threads on Inkyman Sapphire and other blue ink quests. Since I have some Noodler's Liberty's Elysium (LE) I went and compared it to some old notebooks I have that were written with original PPS. I confirmed that PPS has more green in it than LE, so I tried a mixing experiment of my own: I added Penman Emerald, of which I still have half a bottle, drop by drop to a 6 mL sample of LE. With 4 drops of PPE (about 3%) I got a blue-green hue that seemed fairly close to PPS, but something else happened: I got much more gray-black in the visual mix than I expected, looking like, say, Noodler's 54th Massachusetts. So that was pretty much a failure (though the ink is usable and I will write with it) and I see why turquoise would be a better starting point.

 

I can see that I am a bumbling newb with a lot to learn about ink. I will continue to write a lot with straight LE as I like it a lot in its own right, but it is not a close hue to Penman Sapphire, in my view.

 

I am also realizing that I should be trying to mix my own personal shade of blue, instead of trying to duplicate an unobtainable classic!

BlueJ, welcome aboard the inky train! You are not bumbling in a bad way, but bumbling like the bee that buzzes and enjoys all the color. I think of my self as the inky bumble bee. Welcome aboard.

Amber, thanks for the welcome to this corner of FPN. Next time I order from Goulet's, I'll get some samples of other blue-related Noodler's inks, and report how my mixes turn out.

 

Incidentally, I wrote LB in one place in my last post for LE, Liberty's Elysium. It seems FPN does not allow posts to be edited after someone responds.

You should be able to modify your post for 24 hours, but after that, it is locked, but I changed it for you.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
