Blue inks

The picture shows some of the ink I have – just the blues.

I am very partial to blue inks. I think I am on a quest to find an ink that looks just like the Parker Quink Royal Blue (with Solv-X) ink of my childhood.

This quest is completely fueled by nostalgia and not a little whimsy, as I don’t actually have any samples of what the Holy Grail ink looks like – its hues completely exist in my memory…
