After reading this awesome thread over on FPN http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/fo...ion-and-swabs/ I have decided to do the same or similar with blue inks.
I have ordered 15 samples from Goulets and I have 5 samples already and own 6 blue inks already. Here is the list of inks I am thinking of using…if you guys have any suggestions of inks you would rather see speak up.

I am working out what pens to use…I would like to keep it under 4..its going to be tons of cleaning…I am thinking of using the following
Lamy AL Star…I have 3 nibs for this pen xf,f and broad
Pilot Metropolitan I have medium and a xf
Nemosine Singularity…I have f,m and a 1.1mm stub
I also have a Indian flex pen also
I have other pens but I would like to keep them to cartg-convertor pens for ease of cleaning.
I will probably be duplicating the green ink test pretty closely…no need to fix something that isn’t broken ya know.
I will be using 32# pound HP Laser Jet paper, Rhodia Dot pad and probably some plain copy paper.
Let me know what you guys think. This project will take some time to get done so suggestions will be appreciated.
