Which Ink For A Pilot Custom 823 Demonstrator

[LuisAAbrilRomero]

Hello there,

 

I am thinking of dedicating my new Pilot Custom 823 Clear Demonstrator to one of the following inks:

 

Visconti Blue

Noodler's Aircorp

Noodler's Navy

Akkerman Shocking Blue

Akkerman Blue-Green

 

Does anybody know if those inks stain the barrel of said 823 demonstrator?

 

Thanks for your help!

Visconti blue won't stain.

I have the amber one and am using Cult Pens/Diamine Deep Dark Brown. they go together well but there are no obvious signs of staining.

My amber 823 came with a bottle of Pilot Blue and that's all I've ever put into it. The pen has been inked continuously ever since I received it in mid-2009. It's fast-drying, doesn't feather and it's waterproof. I've been really happy with that ink.

Used both Noodler's, without any stainig problem.

 

Only problem I ever had with my three 823 (one for each color), the ink (any ink) can remain trapped behind the inner cap (see here).

Sorry about bumping an old thread but i'm also thinking on getting some Noodlers Navy and want to know the same thing. Just as a review, that ink will not stain a demonstrator right? More specifically a Vac700 where the ink will be right on the insides of the pen.

I've never had trouble with the Noodler's Blue staining a pen. A caveat worth mentioning is that I have never used it in a TWSBI 700. Of course, until the day I gave it away, none of the inks I used ever stained that pen, including a selection of Noodler's inks.

Okay, good enough approval for me. Thank you!

I would recommend trying to use the same ink, or at least inks of a similar hue. It can be a bit of pain to clean and if you use something very deep and saturated it might leave tiny little traces (especially around the little rubber bung head) and slightly spoil the next ink if it is something light.

I have ama-iro in mine at the moment and it looks cool.

I did use Noodler's Blue in a Vac 700 with no staining issues.

Perfect. Thank you. Just ordered it then.
