200% Pilot Blue-Black Ink Review (Instead Of The Dull 100%)

[khalameet]

And a nice bottle that is. I like the 70ml bottle shape and design.

The 60ml bottles are Namiki, but the inks should be the same. Didn't see such a bottle myself yet, in Europe they are not common (at least I believe so).

I agree, it's a very nice bottle, and the little insert to help with filling the pen is also very handy. I have several of the blue black, which I like better than the plain blue, so a very nice supply...

I also enjoy the blue black very much, hence I bought a 350ml bottle, just in case I run out of it...I emptied two of the 70ml bottles before, so it is not unlikely!

Pilot blue does not come in 350 ml unfortunately - and Ive looked

 

 

In Brazil you can buy a 500ml bottle of Pilot Blue. This ink is almost exactly the same as the 70ml version from Japan, but it is made in Brazil.

 

But for some reason the 350ml bottles are only available in red, blue black and black. The 70ml bottles lack a red version...

 

That's interesting! I thought blue would have been available in all sizes.

 

I got a 60ml bottle of blue (Namiki) from Amazon. It quickly became a staple for me. I may try Pilot blue-black next time. The only blue-black I have is Pelikan 4001 and I like it.

I purchased a 350ML Bottle of Pilot BB. I didn't like the color...too blue. I was going to add some black however I am going to try the 200%. Did the 200% stain the ink windows on the 1990's MB 146?

Thank You in Advance.

I have the same question, is the pilot blue black safe to use on vintage celluiod pens?

[Lithium466]

It has a PH of around 8. I am not sure how sensitive to PH vintage celluloid is, I vaguely remember it was best to avoid basic inks, but could be wrong.
