They sure do. I was disappointed with Florida Blue. It needs a waterfall nib to look decent.

When it's laid down super wet it will sheen a bit around the edges. It'd probably look very nice in your music nib.

Here's the redux of Florida Blue --this time using Tomoe River paper (instead of vellum) and a super wet 1915 Waterman 0514. True, a bit of sheen is visible, as Steve says, but I guess it really is unfair to compare it to the knockout sheen of Sailor's Souten (bottom).

I'm still gonna hafta stick with my earlier evaluation: good —but not great—, medium blue. I wonder if it'll show up in a Summer Cleaning exchange... ;)

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

That pen has inconsistent flow, so it may be wetter in that pen than it would be in any properly functional pen.

Trying to make myself like Diamine's Florida Blue. I don't dislike it, but it's just so average. A nice blue, yes; but just meh.

You are too kind! I've been experimenting with putting Tomoe River paper in the printer, and making my own "stationery." I like the effect...

Do the pigment inks cause problems? I've been eyeing them, but haven't tried one yet.

There are lots of opinions and experiences of clogging. I hardly keep pens inked for long anyway, so the gains will far outweigh the "pain" of extra pen-hygiene (which i actually enjoy).
