I received an email from Fahrney's Pens advertising new Edelstein long catridges. Upon checking the Fahrney's site, http://www.fahrneyspens.com/Item--i-363266S?src=WP200714SENTTOEL&utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=Inhouse&utm_campaign=140710, I found the option for Edelstein Sapphire Blue. Since I had purchased a lot of Parker Penman Blue Sapphire ink before it became impossible to find and since I have been using Private Reserve American Blue catridges for the travel needs of my pens taking international size cartridges, I have not tried Edelstein Sapphire Blue ink; having a lot of Parker Penman Blue Sapphire ink, I have not needed to buy bottled ink. Since the picture of an ink blob on the Fahrney's site looked promising in regard to color, I wanted to ask how the Edelstein Sapphire Blue ink compares in color to my beloved Parker Penman Blue Sapphire and my substitute Private Reserve American Blue. Has anyone used each of these inks? If so, how do they compare in color? In particular, how does the color of Edelstein Sapphrie Blue compare to the rich deep color of Parker Penman Blue Sapphrire? Thanks! : )

I am needing a good ink to use to take notes in lectures with my Parker 51 vacumatic and Sheaffer PFM. I prefer to use a good darkish blue ink as that sort of color is perfect for any possible situation I might face with any of my heavy use pens. I was thinking about trying the Fast Drying Private Reserve American Blue, as I like the color, and the fast drying would be great for rapid note taking. However, it seems like in some of the discussions it is sometimes mentioned that there are problems with the ink clogging. I am really looking for a no-fuss blue ink here. Does this fit the bill? Thank you!
