Faux Penman Sapphire #10

[dcwaites]

Ok, I know that I said some time ago that I wouldn't be making any more replicants of Parker Penman Sapphire after FPS #9

Then I got involved with Amberleadavis in this thread - https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/293633-the-super-duper-co-razy-parker-penman-sapphire-blue-comparisons-psp/

That woke up my interest in PPS replicants, soon followed by NIS, Noodler's Inkyman Sapphire.

 

More recently I was having a close look at Iroshizuku's Asa-Gao, and having received a 15 ml bottle of Kon-Peki, decided to have another go.

 

The result is Faux Penman Sapphire #10

 

Recipe

1 part Iroshizuku Kon-Peki

3 parts Iroshizuku Asa-Gao

0.1 part (or less) Iroshizuku Take-Sumi

Results

Colour - Correct Sheen - Same as PPS

Feathering - None Shading - Same as PPS

Bleeding - Same as PPS

 

 

I am not that happy with the scan. It real life the colours are much closer.

Dang! I'm missing a wee bit of Take-Sumi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS. Have you ever considered mixing Waterman Florida ("Serenity") Blue with South Seas ("Inspired") blue?

[dcwaites]

I am assuming that a tiny bit of any decent water-based black will do.

 

I haven't tried it with the Waterman inks, as PPS is relatively resistant to feathering and bleeding, and the Waterman inks aren't.
