Inks To Be Wary Of (Staining)?

[Aurko]

Hello! I'm going to be getting a white Sailor 1911 soon, and though I'm excited, I would like to compile a list of inks to avoid for the pen. I'm very wary of staining the pen. I believe the ink bottles that I currently have with me are safe (Sheaffer Blue-Black, Private Reserve Shoreline Gold, and Diamine Monaco Red) but of course I plan on buying more inks in the future. What I really want to know is as follows:

1. Are there any inks that are known to stain, other than the obvious Baystate Blue and other baystate inks?

2. Are there any inks that could be recommended as "safe" inks?

Red inks in general are the worst for staining (followed by purple inks I believe), it's hard to predict because different pen materials and ink chemistry react differently to each other.

WirsPlm's statement is very true. I'll add that you should be careful because these red pigments can hide in inks that you would never suspect.

Usually any ink with washable in the title is a definite solid choice and is safe. Avoid purple inks. PR Tanzanite is my worst stainer.

Diamine Grape is my one stain I've never been able to remove.

 

I did eventually get out the PR Tanzanite. Use some vintage Skrip red as your next fill.
