Namiki Blue In A Twsbi 580?

[merrycitrine]

Hello FPNners!

 

I have a question regarding Namiki Blue. I am buying a TWSBI 580 and want to make this my everyday ink. However, I was wondering if it would stain it. Also if so, has anyone tried bleach/ammonia solutions on it? I really don't want to permanently stain my pen.

 

Thank you!

Namiki Blue (Pilot Blue) is fairly water resistant and may not be completely removed with water flushing alone, but in my experience it is removed using a standard sort of diluted ammonia flush.

 

I know some people like to use bleach to remove certain ink stains from pens, but I really think there are so many other things you can do (not to mention ignoring a stain instead of going full-bore OCD on it), that it just isn't necessary.
