on saleNoodler's Baystate Blue - 3oz Bottled Ink

If you want a strong, impressive Blue, Noodler's Baystate Blue is the best looking blue on earth.

Morning Pages (Re: Julia Cameron’sTheArtists Way book)
Most used ink. Bright and dense yet flows well, dries well and stays. I don't mind that it stains. It is rich.

Beautiful deep color. Works great with my pilot Metropolitan fin nib. Dries fast and quite resistant to water.

Have used with one medium nib Jinhao X750. It seemed to feed really wet and paper had some feathering (Rhodia), also some ghosting with the medium nib. I really like the Blue!

Overall, Baystate Blue is a fantastic ink with SOME caveats. I heard the horror stories, too, but I'll try almost anything at least once. I selected my Charcoal Lamy Safari (NOT the Vista!), a well used converter, put my new 1.5mm stub nib on the pen, drew ink through the nib into the converter from a VERY full bottle of ink, wiped off excess ink from the grip section of the pen, and started to write. The nib and ink complemented each other very well on the cheap paper we use at the office. The color is one of the richest most vibrant blues I've ever used. It maintains its color after drying, and appears to be fairly light resistant, and nearly waterproof. I found the ink to be relatively wet, with a little longer drying time required to avoid smudging the ink when you write on the next line below.
After exhausting the ink in the converter, I gave the pen a good rinse, and everything rinsed, or wiped, clean including the sink. The only thing that retained the blue hue was the inside of the converter. I'm going to have to try a regular nib next, because that blue is too awesome to ignore! And don't wear your favorite white shirt while writing with this, or any other, fountain pen ink.

I have been having great experience using the product, love the color and its performance on paper, work well together with my pen.
