Oh, what a relief! Now you know, what BSB is all about, and it's good to hear that you like it.

Yeah, I've got some other blue samples to try, but I may wind up getting myself a bigger bottle of this.

Until you ink a pen, it is merely a pretty stick. --UK Mike

I thought I'd give this older post on Noodler's Baystate Blue, which seems to be the definitive review, a shot for a question rather than a new post on an old topic.

 

I like the blues but I am not an ink guy. I try to collect primarily representative samples of Pelikan/Pelikano and other black German pen brands from the 50's - 60's. I have Pelikan Koenigs Blau and a blue/black, a straight-leg blue. and a very nice Holy Mackeral Sapphire Blue.

 

I gather from the above observations that it is probably a good idea to have a dedicated pen for the Baystate saturated blue.

 

I have just ordered a Jinhao 450 for 74¢ including shipping. Before I order a bottle (probably the 3oz size) of Baystate Blue:

 

• Do you inksters think that this will be a good working combination?

 

(at 74¢, I'm not too concerned if the pen isn't the right one, or staining, if it is)

Hi, I am doctor and also a fountain pen lover. So my priority is having a permanent ink as to write on case paper and prescriptions. And other practical point is, I dont want to keep on capping and uncapping my pen. I love writing unposted. So only option for pen is Pilot Vanishing Point(PVP) for its click mechanism ( just like ball-point) So all well. But the problem is JUST LOVE Noodlers' Baystate Blue(BSB), for both its water proofing and the vibrancy. I know its dangers. As of now using BSB without any problems in Pilot Metropolitan for 2 months. But seriously want to shift to PVP, for its practical purpose for me.

 

SO the big question is should I use BSB in PVP?

 

So I request the community to throw some light on it. Does anyone has any personal experience in this combination?

 

Regards,

Dr. Vikas

I wouldn't dare.

Still missing the "White Stripe" MYU and black brother MYU with transparent section!

 

(Has somebody a "Murex" with a working clock?

 

(Thanks to Steve I found the "Black Stripe Capless" and the "White Stripe Capless")

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
