Rohrer & Klingner Königsblau (Royal blue) Many thanks @Lithium466 for the sample. I’m not into royal blues, but if there would have one, this might have been a contender, had it any water resistance. The writing experience is senstational. Ink is wet, with excellent lubrication. It made the Pilot Kakuno Ef, sing, a rare feat for the scratchiest of all nibs. I enjoyed a lot for drawing. If you're in for a good washable blue and enjoyable writing experience this is for you. However, if you're looking for a bit more oomph, there are still many options, including one coming this weekend hopefully Chroma: Writing Samples: I try to find appropriate quotes, but more often than not, I don’t know if they are attributed or real. See how a drop of water obliterated the ink Photo: Comparison: The three first swatches look almost identical, but boy they cannot be more different Water test: Left side 10 seconds under running water. Art Work: I continued with the "royal" theme King Ginger and Queen snap For those interested @Lithium466 & @InesF I mixed Königsblau with Star Ruby on the paper, to create the purple gown. . (Talens notebook) Other inks used: Pelikan Edelstein Star Ruby Sailor Kiwa-guro Noodler's Lexington Gray/ Apache Sunset/Polar Brown and a gold metallic pen. · Pens used: Pilot Kakuno EF, Lamy (EF/F/M/B), Osmiroid Copperplate · What I liked: Tactile sensation, drawing with. · What I did not like: As a writing colour and its fatal attraction to water. · What some might not like: It’s wet, no water resistance. · Shading: It won’t win any awards. · Ghosting: Acceptable on cheap paper. Depends on the wetness of pen. · Bleed through: A bit with Ef. · Flow Rate: Very wet · Lubrication: Nice · Nib Dry-out: Did not notice. · Start-up: Excellent. · Saturation: Rich · Shading Potential: Eh! · Sheen: A hint on Japanese paper. · Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: Did not notice. · Nib Creep / “Crud”: Did not notice. · Staining (pen): No. · Clogging: Did not notice. · Cleaning: Very easy · Water resistance: Non-existent! · Availability: 50 ml bottles.

This has probably been asked before a gazillion times, but I cannot find a definite answer on FPN or elsewhere. I've got two bottles of Parker Quink ink, one black and one blue black. I think both bottles are the same, the labels have different designs and the boxes are different, too. I don't know whether this is because one is washable and the other permanent, or because of a change in the design. Are these inks washable or permanent? I've read that if they are washable the box would say so, but I'm not completely sure it's like that. Thanks!

Monteverde's revamped line of inks recently got my attention for their comprehensive lineup of clear, distinct hues, as well as good value. A 90ml bottle can be had for about $13-$15 USD from the better known online retailers in the United States, making it a very good deal. Monteverde touts their "ITF Technology". From Monteverde's promotional material, here's how it claims to benefit us writers: At my recent visit to the 2017 LA Pen Show, Monteverde gave a free bottle of Malibu Blue ink to all show attendees. A company representative had all their inks available for sampling with swabs, as well as show discounts. I brought home four bottles of Monteverde ink, and post-show I've purchased a few more online.Malibu BlueCapri BlueHorizon BlueSapphire BlueMonteverde also offers two blues I am missing: Caribbean Blue (turquoise), and a Blue-Black. I am posting individual reviews for each of the four Monteverde inks I have. I filled a variety of pens with these four inks, with nibs ranging from fine to double-broad stubs. Here's a snapshot from my Bullet Journal Ink Log, showing the pen/ink assignments and a writing sample from each. Monteverde Malibu Blue This is a "washable" blue ink, that is very much like the standard blue ink you see from most pen manufacturers. Monteverde sells an ink eradicator that can "erase" this ink. Monteverde gave away sample ink eradicators at the show, but I haven't tried mine yet. Clairefontaine paper sample. Color/Saturation Monteverde Malibu Blue is a light blurple, or "blue-purple" ink. This ink goes down deep and dark, and lightens considerably as it dries. The scan here is the dried writing on Clairefontaine paper. Shading/Sheening Malibu Blue has a light amount of shading on Tomoe River paper. I didn't notice any sheening. Flow This ink ranked third amongst the inks tested for flow and wetness. Loaded in my Cross ATX, wtih a super-wet, medium nib, it puts down a slightly wet line. Lubrication Malibu Blue is noticeably more lubricated than the average ink that I put into my cross ATX. Lubrication is good. This ink has some "stiction" to it - there's a little bit of resistance at the beginning and end of every pen stroke, though mid-stroke the nib feels lubricated. I've only noticed this with Monteverde inks, and it's common to them. In this review, I've noticed it with Malibu, Horizon, and Sapphire Blue. Dry Time Dry times with this ink were moderate, about 30 seconds, on Clairefontaine paper. Feathering Malibu Blue performed medium-well in the feathering test on cheap office pad paper. Some feathering is noticeable but isn't too objectionable. Bleedthrough Malibu Blue has light bleedthrough on cheap office pad paper. Water Resistance Malibu Blue is not a water-resistant ink in the 10 second water immersion test. Before After Clairefontaine paper sample.

After ruining my shirt AGAIN i decided to get some washable ink. Black, because I prefer black and black ink is mandated where I work. I remember using Parker Quink black washable long time ago so I went on line to get some, but apparently its been discontinued by Parker. I was looking for other black washable inks and you can get some in the US but I could not find any in Europe. Since I really don't want to pay $20 postage cost can anyone advise me on any black washable ink available in Europe? I like Parker Quink and I prefer quick drying to very lubricated inks, if there is a choice. Many thanks

Assuming I am going to spill ink on my clothes, are there any inks or brands that have a better reputation for to washing out? I am wanting to be more careless in transporting and carrying a pen which I figure makes it a question of when rather than if I will get ink on my clothes. As such, buying based on the ability to remove it may be a good idea. I am thinking I should do an empirical test with the few inks I have, but they are mostly Noodler's.

Hi I have recently bought some washable black Parker Quink from amazon (about 3 weeks ago). It was quite cheap, only 4 packs of 5 for £5. At first I was happy with it, it lasted about twice as long compared to the permanent black Quink from Parker (2 weeks compared to 1). However, I have noticed it turns yellow on most paper. Especially in my science books. It can happen in less than 20 minutes. I handed in a 2 page essay in black and it came back almost completely yellow (but an A grade so yay me). Even as I write this though my media work is turning yellow. I had no such problem with the permanent ink. What is happening? Here is a link to the amazon page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Parker-Quink-Cartridges-Black-Washable/dp/B00B7APY2Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380368757&sr=8-1&keywords=black+parker+quink+20 I have also uploaded a picture of the yellow ink (I know my handwriting is dreadful and the image isn't the best quality either).
