FPN Van Gogh Starry Night Blue

[PAKMAN]

I still can't see the blue in this ink!

Great review!

 

I have two questions:

 

1. What, if any, are the differences between this color and Noodler's Tahitian Pearl? The colors look fairly (though not entirely) similar. Any observations on their respective behaviors in certain pens and on certain paper?

 

2. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where can I get this ink? I know it's an FPN exclusive, but I didn't even know FPN had a store! Is there a link somewhere?

Great! Thank you!

 

Something tells me I'll be investing in a bottle of this before too long!

I have this in my Lamy Safari and it works well there, I think. It is a very very dark blue bordering on black in my pen. It makes a nice contrast to the Sapphire Blue in my Capless.

I understand that FPN VG Starry Night Blue is highly saturated. Are there pens in which you wouldn't use it? Are there recommendations for pen maintenance which you would highlight? Thanks so much!

 

 

I just asked the same question about HoD, and since i'm looking to get this ink too, i am interested. Is it a pen stainer?

Same answer for me than with HoD. Never had staining issues with this ink but I never let pen loaded with ink dry

 

Scrap this, I had one staining issue with it! First time I opened the bottle it was filled to the brink and I got both hands stained for a few hours :ltcapd:

Mine arrived from FPN last week--must try it soon. Latex gloves will be in order. Thanks for the warning!

VGSNB recently made its debut in flea-land in a Pilot 78G with M nib. A very curious ink indeed. Not blue. Kind of a blue gray. I little bit like stonewashed or faded denim. Writes well in this pen. Not waterproof in strict laboratory testing (sat my sweating glass on writing pad). I like it mucho but it seems a bit somber. Perhaps a good kiss off ink.

Eh Eh don't worry too much it really isn't much of a deal Actuall it has become some kind of ritual between that ink and me: every other ink I barely if ever get on my finger, this one seems to be finger licking good :roflmho:

Here it is! Color is dead on on my monitor so hopefully it's close for everyone else! Enjoy!

How do I go about getting this ink for myself?

 

Thanks,

Check with an Admin. Elaine I believe would be a good place to start.

I love this ink. I use it everyday in a Lamy Safari with an EF nib.
