My Ink Needs A Perm: Adding A Smidge Of Permanence?

[peroride]

Anyone care to share their favorite permanent ink additive - mix of permanent ink + X ink ?

 

While I enjoy Platinum Classics, Sailor nano pigs and Noodler's, it would be great to add a touch of permanence to the rest of my inks.

 

I'm guessing Platinum Carbon Black would be a good stable additive but that was only one test run

 

So far:

 

Success:

• Platinum Carbon Black (just a smidge) + Noodler's 54th Massachusetts - stable

Failure:

• R&K Salix + Maruzen Blue: the mix writes but precipitates all along the inner demonstrator barrel

 

Ideal: Permanent reveal at 07:15 shows color washout but line is still visible. So the mix would be like this true Platinum Classic: color shows but when water is applied, at least the "permanent" iron gall burn still shows for archival review.

Noodlers Heart of Darkness often works for me,

Nice explanations.

 

Consider adding Ghost Blue.
