It’s either tied for my favorite blue or it’s a close second.

Good ink but I want one that looks just like Baystate but isnt so stainy and unmixable with other inks. It is a very strong deep ink but too dark for me.

As Brian says, PR inks are rich and vibrant, highly saturated and wet. Because they are so saturated, shading is low to moderate. I do not notice any sheen in my scripts.What I love about these inks is the boldness of the colors. They seem to make the writing pop. They have an elegant but exuberant gravitas. I am writing prescriptions for sick patients. The ink must be taken seriously. I discovered the PR brand by accident. A package of DC Supershow blue appeared in my drawer, I don't know how. I loaded it into my Conway-Stewart Doctor's Pen with a gorgeous gold broad nib. This ink blows me away. On my paper, it is a deep navy, highly saturated and wet, less purple than Brian's photo as it appears on my computer. Comparing it to Monteverde's version of DC Supershow, it appears darker and more saturated. My writing sample includes a few lines of Diamine's Sapphire Blue, a beauty in its own right.
