INK SWAB: 91/365 – Akkerman #5 Shocking Blue
INK SWAB: 89/365 – Pilot Namiki Blue
A wonderfully saturated and happy blue – Pilot Namiki Blue.
INK SWAB: 86/365 – Noodler’s Baystate Blue
Noodler’s Baystate Blue
Famous and infamous – Noodler’s Baystate Blue has a reputation for a couple of things: 1) its great big booming blue color, and 2) it’s propensity to stain everything it touches.
My experience . . . 1) I don’t think the color is something that a writer can’t find somewhere else, and I think it leans toward the purple side in real life practical use, and 2) I wouldn’t put it in my demonstrator, or my favorite pen, or my lightly colored pen, or my new pen, or my vintage pen.
You see what I’m saying? And…do you agree?
INK SWAB: 82/365 – Sailor Kobe #29 – Suma Kai Hin Blue
LOVE this ink! Sailor Kobe #29 – Suma Kai Hin Blue is a great blue with just a bit of red making it lean toward purple. In my experience, all of the Sailor Kobe inks are pretty terrific.
I bought mine on eBay. Have you tried this one or any of the other Sailor Kobe?

Interesting!! Do you like this one? I like the darkness and it looks like there is some potential for shading, too. Going to have to give it a go.
INK SWAB: 76/365 – Akkerman #9 – Laan Van Nieuw Ooost – Indigo
Akkerman #9 – Laan Van Nieuw Oost – Indigo
This ink isn’t for me. The color is too muted and too much of a non-color. It leans toward gray with a bit of green. I also am bothered that his ink is called “Indigo” when that color is usually a dark inky blue.
Tell me what you think?
INK SWAB: 75/365 – Caran D’ache Blue Sky
Caran D’ache – Blue Sky
Another ink from the discontinued line of Caran D’ache inks. Such a pretty color – just a hint of red, but not so much that the inks goes purple.
INK SWAB: 74/365 – Delta Blue
Delta Blue is a good, bright, and traditional blue. I’m ok with this color, but it’s not love. There are so many wonderful blue inks out there.
