I am surprised the Apricot is doing so well. I see you were able to load the scan. I was uploading it for you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

That Tanom purple will actually fade quickly now, it does not hold up.

Well Namiki Blue already ain't doing very well. I guess that apart the water resistance there aren't many other qualities to recommend it. The Kobe inks are doing very well. Interesting that Ultramarine is not on par with them. I was pleasantly surprised by R&K, they are very decent for this hue range. Apricot was the biggest surprise.

After I had tested Apricot, I was expecting that sort of resilience from all the sailor inks. Alas, Apricot is different.

Lol me too. Looks like some kids will soon receive a bottle of a light, slightly tealish blue to play with. I'm keeping it just until I can do a side by side fade test with the Hero inks that Cyber6 discovered in Chinatown.

I'm just catching up on this thread. Thanks for doing this, and thanks for explaining the rationale behind using the north-facing window. The amount of fading from some of these inks -- even when in not in "direct" light -- was an eye-opener.
