Any of the iron gall inks are superb for resisting water.

Water resistance is important to me. I do not seek protection from monsoon rains, nor explosive industrial liquids. I need my writing information to survive raindrops that fall onto my paper, and are immediately blotted dry. The writing must be readable for recopying, if needed.

 

My test : Write on my most common paper. Let dry for three minutes. Apply a drop of water. Blot after five seconds. Repeat, but blot after thirty seconds.

 

Some ink are better than others, but Pelikan 4001 Blue/Black and Royal Blue perform very well.

My favorite Private Reserve DC Supershow Blue performs poorly.

 

Good hunting !

Hero 232 is one of my favorite inks. It is a very good performing iron gall blue-black ink and sells very inexpensively.

Namimi/Pilot Blue is water-resistant. Rohrer & Klingner Salix is waterproof; it is an iron gall dark blue.

I've been on a quest to see if I could commit all Seven Deadly Sins in a single day. Finally, it dawned on me I shouldn't try for the One Day Wonder Prize for all seven in one day. It's simply out of any question as you can't commit decent sloth while busily ticking the other six off your crowded "to do" list. -- ViolinWriter

Hero 232 is a bargain priced ink with top shelf performance.

 

I own the blue black and it is waterproof and a joy to use. Just wished I liked the colour more . . . you might. Good luck. :)

+1 for Hero 232 or one of its cousins (my Hero 402 Blue-Black is mostly waterproof on cheap absorbant paper and the color is gorgeous)

 

For a little more money, Pelikan 4001 Blue-black is also great, but can smear or fade a little when wet. Currently my favorite ink.

I have the Hero #202 and it is quite waterproof. Pictures here.

Hero #232 Blue-Black is my Waterman Florida Blue.

Very helpful review! I have #202 and #402 and they look identical to me. I have a feeling just the bottle is different.

Need to do a more detailed comparison when I get time...

Is it good with vintage pens? (Esterbrooks?) I know that the Noodler's ink I have only likes my Wearever Pennant!

I'm not sure about Hero 202, but 402 seems to have some iron-gall content (Pelikan 4001 Blue-black definitely has some).

However, the iron-gall amount is much lower than registrar's ink or the R&K iron-igall inks, so it seems totally safe for vintage pens, so long as you practice good pen hygiene. Flush thoroughly after each fill and never let the ink dry in the pen and you should be fine.

Rohrer & Klingner Dokumentus ink is certified to DIN ISO 12757-2. Completely waterproof. The black is very smooth and rather wet so I use it with a fine nib. Not only for writing, but I also like to draw with it. I also tried the light blue but didn't like the colour. To much green in it so a kind of turquoise and more for girls and women; not for seriaou writings.

      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..

      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

      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
