Be sure to read this thread first for "the rules". Anyone can join in and no prior INKsperience is necessary.

Other test inks include:

Blue

Blue Batch A = Blue Amber

Blue Batch B = Blue Balls

Blue Batch C = Blue Cashmere

Blue Batch C version 2 = Too Blue Cashmere

Blue Batch D = Blue Diamond

Black

Black Batch A = Black Amber

Black Batch B = Black Balled

Black Batch C = Black Cat

Black Batch D = Black Diamond

Green

Green Batch C = Green Cashmere

Green Batch D = Green Diamond

Red

Red Batch C = Red Cashmere

Red Batch D = Red Diamond

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I liked this one a lot, but then I like the color from Blue Diamond better.

I do like turquoise so it would be a keeper for me, as always, I love your review.

 

Big Question: IT STAINED? That's bad.

 

 

If you still have some of this, add it to blue amber or some purple ink - this is 1/2 the recipe to a Parker Penman type color.

I guess the ink was named while watching this video?

Apologies.

It was a mare to reproduce the colour. It's so close to pure cyan that I'm guessing the RGB sensors in my phone were overloaded and had very little information elsewhere for me to help tweak things accurately.

Is this Blue Balls or Toucan Bright Blue? The Blue Balls pipettes were labeled Blue Balls. The Toucan pipettes had handwritten letters BB on one side, and a T on the other side.

The pipette had a BB on the bulb, but I don't remember a T. When I PMed you the scans, you confirmed that it was Blue Balls.

It looks like Blue Balls to me. I just saw a photo of pipettes that was Toucan Bright Blue...but I see now that wasn't your photo. Sorry for the confusion.

http://www.fp-ink.info/img/button.pngI'm still looking for help/data/supporters/sponsors for my Ink Database - It already contains over 900 Inks but is still low on data about the inks except on the Inks I got myself or where I found nice data sheets. So Im looking for these: InkSamples mailed to me, Permissions to use InkReviews - preferable by people who have a lot of InkReviews online, InkReviews mailed to me so I can scan them, Sponsors that will help me to finance InkSamples, People willing to trade InkSamples (list of available Inks from me is available via PM request - please include available Inks)

That image is not color corrected. And as far as I've learned from the PM thread this ink should actually be filed somewhere else as it is Blue Balls Diamond Mix instead of the pure Blue Balls which I considered the same thing at first.

Oh, well, that explains the difference in color. BTW, I like the new avatar.

Yes probably, haven't got the pure one then :(

 

The Avatar is a scan from an envelope I got from Kosmic-kowgirl :D
