Noodler's Baystate Blue - Does It Change Color Depending On Paper?

Bay State Blue is a spectacular color. I think it has fallen into the witch hunt category.

Completely agree, unfortunately.

Pardon my intrusion, but erm, ... , which color would that be?

 

A which hunt? Really? Nobody let me in on it...

But if it's true, I'm sure they are after the wrong guys. It's not the ink, or the manufacturer, they should be looking for, but for reviewers in denial - if you come across any, please, send them my way, I feel like my pound of flesh is overdue ...

 

Oh wait, did you also say there is no climate change ?! Geesh, I'm such a dope for science nincompoops, 'cause I fell for that, too...

Completely agree, unfortunately.

Yeah, double-unfortunately, as my credit card statement can show...

 

But hey, maybe some kind Samaritan would refund us - us, newbies, who rely on <<documented>>, <<exhaustive>>, and <<trustworthy>> appraisals like Drawing61's, above. After all, they seem to be in such supply, that one can't even ask anymore, without someone jumping "foul!"

 

Including return postage, it should amount to erm... a mere synch of about $50, to name a round figure - please PM me for my Paypal details, Samaritans only. :thumbup:

Not sure it is the acidity, but rather, the chlorine content - that's my current working hypothesis, at least...

After all, sodium hypochlorite - NaClO, isn't acidic at all - it is quite alkaline.

Household bleach is even more alkaline, as it also contains sodium hydroxide - NaOH.

Yet, as I suppose you know, Noodler's recommends a 10% solution of bleach for removal of BSB stains, and it does work.

I'll know better when I test BSB on TCF paper - but even then I wouldn't be able to say with 100% certainty that it is the chlorine, as I am not an expert in paper or ink chemistry.

What I would be able to say, with 100% certainty, is whether or not I give up on BSB entirely, and forever...

 

 

Thank you that is interesting.

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

This thread reminds me of the ktc thread...

 

Bsb is really saturated and does lean violet. What i do is dilute it. It help the whiteness of the paper shine through and look more blue.

As far as I know, it does not, unless the paper itself has some color to it.

      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
