De Atramentis: Document Ink Turquoise

[FLZapped]

Oh, very useful. Dang, that's chalky. It reminds me of luxury blue or polar blue.

The original Upper Ganges Blue was similar.

It's a little yellower? Or more cyan than I found from UG.

Don't get rid of it...it is the perfect mixing ink. You can improve the performance of any other ink. Add it to your favorite purple for a penman replacement.

I foolishly bought a whole bottle of this because I loved the Document Red and wanted a waterproof turquoise. I've tried every dry pen I have and just can't stop this ink from tripling the line width and bleeding through anything other than card stock. It even turned my Pilot Penmanship EF into a gusher!

 

Has anyone made some great mixes with this ink? I'd love some ideas for what to do with it. I guess it could be added to other inks to increase water resistance or make them wetter. Thanks for any suggestions!

I mixed it with fuchsia and yellow (from the same line) to get a blue very much like Noodler's Bad Blue Heron. I don't think it's as bad as plain turquoise, but I used it all in the mix, so I'm not sure. It's very wet with some spread, but doesn't feather. It's in my Penmanship right now.

 

I hear a drop or two of distilled water will help tame feathering in other inks, perhaps it will in this too...
