Finished the Visconti and Sailor icons today:

Would upload a zip file containing all the icons after I have completed them.

Visconti Blue Ink

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

I have bought too much ink recently. This is the last one I’ll get in these three months I hope. Montblanc just called to let me know the 2008 seasonal greetings ink has arrived.

Anyway, I was looking for a blue which does not have traces of purple in it. After reading some posts on Fountain Pen Network, I decided to get this Visconti blue. I filled my Lamy 2000 with this ink and I was impressed when a pure blue line was laid onto paper.

From left to right: Lamy blue, Cartier blue, Visconti blue. Lamy blue is in cartridge. As you can see, the Visconti ink is much more vibrant.

I’ll post about my Lamy 2000 when I spend more time with it.
