I am hoping someone will soon have the opportunity to compare this ink to Noodler's Midnight Blue, to see whether it is actually discernibly different :)

 

I'll send you a sample if you do the comparison.

 

I appreciate the offer, but I'd rather just buy it than spend the time and energy required for a comparison :roflmho: I am just too swamped with too many things right now.

 

But perhaps some other kind and generous soul will volunteer B)

Hi Elaine:

It's hard to tell from the scans... would you say this is closer to PR Midnight Blues (kind of green/cyan based) or Black Magic Blue (some purple in it)?

What I'm getting looks very close to PR Midnight Blues...

Sorry, I don't have either PR Blues. I don't see any green or purple in it though.

Ok, I know it's only been a week. I'm still eager, though.

I have been told that the ink should arrive on my doorstep by the end of this coming week. Shipping it out will begin as soon as it does!

Hoo, boy! I can hardly wait. Since I had my order of Manuscript Brown and Tulipe Noire held until the FPN blue ink was ready to ship, now I'll get to see what all the fuss is about with Galileo Manuscript Brown, Dumas Tulipe Noire AND Van Gogh Starry Night Blue inks. What a treat to look forward to. Thanks for the update, Elaine.

Hopefully they will have put it in bottles, otherwise you will have a colorful doorstep. :roflmho:

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

Looks like a great color, and I'm a big fan of Noodler's ink...my order is in.

It is a beautiful colour, an antique blue with great shading characteristics.

 

However, it may take a while before your orders are processed, as Elaine is abroad currently, far away from our ink stash, for another 5 weeks if I am not mistaken.

 

I do hope you can wait that long :D.

 

Warm regards, Wim

Any updates on when this color might be back in stock? I've been hunting diligently for a nice blue-black, and this one is at the very top of the wish-list.

Van Gogh Starry Night Blue and Dumas Tulipe Noire are both standard inks, with no special properties other than they are really nice inks to write with and look great. Galileo Manuscript Brown is a wonderful olde world-ish brown with a hint of reddish halo that looks truly wonderful on white but really stands out on ecru, ivory, creme papers and is the only FPN exclusive ink which is also bulletproof. You can find reviews on all three inks in the ink review forum's review index.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
