InkFlash - Mont Blanc Royal Blue

 

InkFlashes are short and quick presentations that show just enough detail to get a feel for the ink. I bought this Royal Blue years ago, but didn't review it yet. Just another royal blue, nothing special.

Writing sample on papers good and bad

 

 

Written with Lamy Safari M-nib. The bleed-through test is done as follows: 1x, 2x and 3x fill of the squares from left to right, to get increasing saturation of the paper. Beware that on the reverse side, the most saturated square appears on the left.

And finally a quick doodle

Well, it's not the worst royal blue...    But the best part is the drawing.   Taking the pupochka¹ for a walk on a drizzly or slushy day. 

 

¹"pup" from the English "puppy" (used both for an immature dog and as a term of endearment for any dog), and "ochka" a Russian word or name ending that turns it into a diminutive or term of endearment.  American friends of mine, while I lived in Russia, took to calling their dog "pupochka" - it kind of evolved among us to be a term for all dogs, sort of like we took to calling the wafflemaker a "wafflenitsa".

Thanks for another ink flash.  

Like @LizEFmy favorite part is the pupochka drawing.

There are too many royal blues and I find them more or less similar. This one seems to be on the darker side of the spectrum. 

Looking forward to another ink flash. 🙏🙏🙏

Love the doodle, but am glad to know I do not have to add another ink to the list of inks I want to try. Thanks!

@namrehsnoom This ink looks a lot like both Pelikan Royal Blue and Diamine Sapphire Blue to my eye, looking at your swabs.

Thanks for the mini review -- and love the artwork.
