Ink that don't feather and bleedthrough

[redshifteffect]

I'm also looking for a blue that doesn't feather. I'm liking the Registrar Blue for BB needs, but is there any alternative for a bright, light to medium pure blue (along the lines of PR Lake Placid/ Diamine Royal Blue)?

 

I've had good luck with Pilot Blue. Doesn't seem to feather much (at least in Japanese/Western F and M, not sure about sizes bigger then that) and as a added bonus is highly water and light resistant.

I've had very good experiences with Lamy Blue ink behaving very well even on very cheap and thin paper! So try that if you want to ! I find that the Lamy Blue isn't very saturated so I often add a dash of Lamy Black to it and it produces a very beautiful color!

I strongly recommend Mont Blanc Royal Blue. It is a very beautiful bright blue and just as well behaved as the midnight blue. I detest feathering and bleed-through and MB Royal Blue is the ink I load 9/10 times.

Buy some good to better paper...that solves so many ink problems. Good to better paper costs only a can or two of coke or cup or two of Starbuck coffee more than dirt cheap paper.

 

For dirt cheap paper use a ball point pen, you will not have feathering or bleed through. :hmm1:

 

 

I have cheap copy paper and better scribbling paper.

Is hard to imagine what paper gives feathering with WBF, but I agree, try Salix from R&K. Is the driest of the ferrogalic based inks. I suppose that the paper you are talking about is required to use for work reasons, otherhow, change the paper and enjoy any ink you like.

 

I'm not sure if Salix is as dry as Diamine Registrar's Blue Black (which is *really* dry). But it *is* IMO a much better color. Stays bluer a lot longer than the Registrar's, which tends to go pale blue-grey and is sort of washy looking.

Which reminds me -- I haven't used Salix for a while. I think my Parker Vector could use a fill....

Noodlers Navajo Turquoise does not feather one bit. It is a great ink. Just be warned that it has no resistant properties like other noodlers ink.

Apart from Pelikan 4001 Royal-Blue that has already been mentioned, I vote for Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black. No feathering, very low bleedthrough, and from my experiments, it's also water-resistant.
