Hello again SoulSamurai, this ink is on so many people's shopping list, but sadly its a discontinued ink and very rare, many (including myself) consider it the ultimate blue.

 

Here is a thread related to PPS

 

Best regards.

 

 

I know what you mean. However, if you want a deep, rich blue with a lot of that red sheen, check out Organic Studio's Element's Nitrogen. Man that ink has A LOT of red sheen! Bear in mind for sheen to show you need a wetter nib and a paper that handles FP's well. For example, the cheep copier paper that soaks up the ink easily will show little sheen, but good paper -- get ready for SHEEN!

A thread like this deserves a stunning pen.

 

fpn_1523781366__onoto_3500__272_1_of_1.j

 

Onoto 3500 with No.2 nib. Recently purchased, needing and given a full overhaul.

 

Gorgeous little No.2 nib, beautiful writer, from about 1925 yet with very clear marking. Well behaved so far, currently with Robert Oster Fire Engine Red.

 

Probably the most boring looking pen I plan to keep. :) It is worth what at the time was a slightly risky price for an unadorned non-working pen, albeit with excellently clear chasing.

A Moore Lever Self-Fill ring top, chased brown rubber, gold medium nib and inked with Visconti Bordeaux ink. The blotter is a reproduction. Sorry for the less than great cell phone photo.

It's even better IRL, isn't it? Pictures never do that pen justice!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By asota · Posted

      ...random aside - I still have some 30 rolls of unused, long-expired Kodachrome 64 film (35mm). They have been frozen since 2009. No idea why I have held on to them for this long, but I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. I too have never developed colour film but I still d&p my B&W to this day. As a passion, of course.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.
