Is your Parker Blue Cartridge 'Permanent' or 'Washable"?

It looks a lot lighter than the odd Parker Permanent Blue Cart that I have used over the years.

It came with the pen, so I'm going to guess washable. I will also check the feed on the nib.

I guess he does. I think I'm just surprised that Daiso calls that a Blue-Black ink and not a BLUE.

Not all of them....

I had a bottle of the Mixable Flame Red that I got free a few years ago when I bought a Noodler's Konrad (back when the pens first came out) because of a special at isellpens. Meant to get the purple, then at the last minute thought "Hey, I don't have any red inks..." and put that one onto the order form instead.

Big mistake. The stuff looked like Mercurochrome (and I mean straight out of the bottle, not after it went onto your skinned knees). Absolutely hideous color. :sick: Think "pink/red version of Baystate Blue" for eye-searing brightness. I eventually gave it away to a guy in my local pen club who is a math professor; he was looking for red inks for grading -- and I bet his students hate him now....

I mean, there are inks I haven't liked for one reason or another -- but It's the only ink I ever *seriously* considered just pouring down the drain... just to Make It Go Away.

Mercurochrome. Now there's an idea... I know I have some somewhere in the bathroom cabinet, along with some Gentian Violet.

 

Many of the aniline dyes were developed as histological stains in the first place.

 

Here's a point to ponder - how many stainy substances can one find in the normal household that are not meant to be inks?

 

eg. Laundry Blue, Food Dyes, Antiseptics (Mercurochrome, Gentian Violet, Iodine all come to mind)

 

What would Mercurochrome do to the metal parts of a pen? I know that its magic as an antiseptic is that it kills everything it comes into contact with, which is why doctors don't like it any more, it slows down healing. However, if I have to choose between a slowly healing non-septic coral cut or a pseudomonas-driven tropical ulcer, I know which one I'm choosing.

isn't mercurochrome an ethanol solution? That would be dangerous to pens!

No, that's acriflavine. I always felt that the alcohol it was dissolved in did more to kill bugs than the active ingredient.

Well of course the real issue with mercurochrome is that it was made with, well, mercury....

And I didn't say that Flame Red WAS mercurochrome -- just that it LOOKED like it. It's still a hideous color ink. Maybe the other Mixables can tame/fix it. Maybe not....

LOL, I like the flame red aka hot pink, but then, I sign docs in Cape Cod Cranberry.

David, I've used Genetian violet in a fade test. BTW, it fades quickly.

BTW, Berning Red is much brighter and it does feather on crummy paper, BUT it's water resistant and becomes more so the longer it dries.

How does it compare to Noodler's Park Red? Because that's pretty well behaved on Piccadilly sketchbook paper -- it dries pretty quickly, doesn't feather, has almost no show through, and is nearly waterproof.
