Nice blue! What is it?

 

That nice blue is Diamine Sargasso Sea

That nice blue is Diamine Sargasso Sea

I don’t remember mine being that nice. Time for a rummage through the bottles...

Stubs? Yes, please! Architects? Yes, please. Broad? Pass. But browsing through this thread, I wonder if I should reconsider. Lovely stuff.

IIRC, that is one of the tough ones to clean from the Diamine range.

That might be what I’m remembering.

That might be what I’m remembering.

 

It probably is, try it in a cartridge/sacrificial pen just to be sure.

[inkstainedruth]

Yeah, I remember Sargasso Sea also being really cloggy after a few days....

I haven't had that problem with the similar looking (and sheening) KWZI Chicago Blue LE. Or with Monteverde Horizon Blue (really need to get myself a bottle of that...).

Ah. I get on perfectly with KWZ blues. I’ll look for a color match in those

Tom, I know "thou shalt not covet", but I darn well covet that bespoke nib! (And I know, it could be mine - if I had the money and the patience. Mostly the money.) Well, photos are second best.

Dying to see what these will do with other inks, topics, and uses.

Merry Christmas, all! May we all find the broad-nibbed pen of our dreams! I see Tom has got an early start. Go thou and do likewise ...

 

And of course, many delightful treats for Yubi!
