Baystate blue! Just wow! It resembles the blue colour of powdered lapis lazuli (ultramarine) that was used by the reniassance painters. It really stands apart when you write with it, and is just eye catching. I think It is best used in fine nibs, just to reduce the bleed through.

Yes, absolutely! I have yet to ink it up in a pen(!) and I will probably use in an EF nib, based on your recommendation.

Bay State is an incredible color my favorite …. But oh yeah, it kills whatever it touches so be careful - a dangerous blue :)

Thanks the swatch of BSB with the other light blues. It is conparable to PI Asa Gao, so I can skip it, too much hassle dealing with BSB.

Can I ask you what you are using for a dip pen? That seems to work out really nice. I have a glass dip pen that I hate, can’t control the flow of the ink at all. Also, loving these blues❤Great idea to use that metal cup for the swatches.

Thanks Holly! It’s a pre-owned antique glass dip pen I bought on eBay about 6 months ago, more info is in the description box.

Beautiful selection. Some I coincidentally have in recent sample vials, patiently waiting, others already on a future list. I would replace here Marine with either Pelikan Edelstein Topaz (close to kon peki, a tiny bit lighter) or Visconti blue.

Which one would you say is the most wet? I’m usually a medium nib, but wanted to try fine. So I got Platinum 3776 in soft fine. It’s a little scratchy for my taste. So was hoping to compensate with a very wet ink. I’ve tried Diamine Royal Blue. It’s still a little too dry for my taste. But it works beautifully with1911L with medium nib

Baystate for the win. Way too saturated ever to shade. BLUE. Put it in a pen you don't mind staining, like one that's opaque.

@@lianelikes I have heard so many great things about the Kakuno especially smooth writer at a great price you wouldn't have a heart attack if you lose it. Do you have an ear cleaning bulb to flush out your sections?? You can buy them in most pen stores with pen flush which you will need.
