This is a very wet writing ink. Very watery. Will blot on many papers. Rhodia is fine but still very wet. Of course depends on the pen and nib. Maybe will be the solution for a pen nib that writes too dry.

Like so many other kids who started elementary school in the mid-1960's, I grew up using a Sheaffer Cartridge Pen. My teachers required us to use blue ink, and I remember my favorite being Sheaffer Washable Blue. I recently found my old school pens in the back of a drawer, and each of them had an old dried-up ink cartridge in it. After cleaning the nibs and cartridges, I ordered a bottle of Sheaffer Deluxe Blue and used a blunt syringe to fill my cartridges, wondering if the ink would live up to my fond memories. Happily, it did! Deluxe Blue seems to be the same shade as the old Washable Blue, and it flows just as smoothly and dries just as quickly as I remember. It's a lovely, medium blue that shades nicely and cleans up easily. Furthermore, at 50 ml for less than $15.00, it's a great value. Very highly recommended!

This blue isn’t a hard, almost blue black. It is a true blue, very reminiscent of the old washable blue every Catholic school kid in America used back in the 1950’s. It is still washes right off hands and out of clothes. My husband prefers this blue to others he's tried. An Esterbrook fountain pen, Sheaffer Washable Blue and Peacock Blue ink were a big part of my growing up years.

I've been buying Skrip since the 60's. You know what's funny? I can remember when I was in junior high in the 60's, and we were all still required to use fountain pens in my school district. Almost all of us used those $1 Sheaffer cartridge pens--the ones with transparent barrels in different colors so we could see the ink level. Yes, there were times when one of us would run out of ink, and would need some. Well this one Spanish teacher in junior high kept a quart bottle of washable blue in her supply cabinet. Any student could come by her room, and for a penny in a jar, could use a hypodermic needle to suck up a cartridge-worth of ink. Can you imagine any teacher today leaving a hypodermic syringe and needle in a school cabinet? That's how different the world is these days.I purchase several brands of ink, and bought Skrip as a curiosity. It's no longer produced here in the US, of course; I think that ended when the traditional bottle with the reservoir was discontinued. This is indeed a different formulation of ink, but it is also an excellent ink from what I can see with my pens.Those of us who still use fountain pens, and different brands of ink, know that not all work equally well in all pens. Noodler's, an ink beloved by so many fountain pen fans, is also notorious for not working with particular pens. I haven't seen this with the Skrip I've used out of this bottle. Will I buy more? Probably not--I prefer a black that is 'blacker' than this. However, that's just my taste; others might love it for just that reason.I wouldn't hesitate, though, to recommend it for anyone wanting to get into fountain pens.

I kind of grew up on Sheaffer inks, starting long ago with the old Sheaffer Peacock Blue, and though in recent years I've been seduced by some of the more exotic ones now available, I still think Sheaffer makes excellent all-purpose inks. They're safe for virtually any fountain pen, won't stain or do weird things to the sac or converter or feed, and they're easy to clean out of the pen. Sheaffer is also one of the few Western traditional ink makers to keep a fairly large number of colours available. This blue is a nice standard medium-dark blue with a hint of purple, and it's very well behaved - generally won't feather or bleed on most papers. It has zero waterproofness however. The Sheaffer green, black, brown, and red are also good inks, though I find Sheaffer black, though it's a lovely dark black, to bleed more than the others. (The other Sheaffer colours are no doubt equally good, I just haven't tried them.) These are also fantastic mixing inks. Mix Sheaffer green and black 2:1 for a gorgeous nearly-black green, or mix this blue 1:1 with Waterman purple for Binder Burgundy (also known as Diamine Syrah), or mix Waterman purple with Sheaffer black 3:1 or 2:1 for a beautiful aubergine dark purple, or mix Sheaffer blue with Pilot/Namiki blue 1:1 for a more water-resistant, richer-looking blue ink, or mix Sheaffer brown and black about 2:1 or 3:1 for a deep dark brown. Etc. I think Sheaffer or Waterman inks will mix with nearly all normal inks (i.e. maybe not some Noodler's) safely, but of course test them before putting in a pen. The ones I mentioned are quite safe, I've used them a lot.) I love my Japanese Pilot and Sailor inks, but Sheaffer inks are still great, reliable basics for anybody with a fountain pen.

Shaeffer Skrip inks have always been one of the better quality fountain pen inks available although not especially expensive. Unlike some brands, it is very free-flowing and non-clogging in any brand of pen. In the past, it was almost always Parker's ink except when it was unavailable and when it may then be whatever else the retailer would have. It was by using different brands that differences between them became evident and brand allegiance also changed after which it was mostly either Shaeffer or Mont Blanc's inks and never again Parker.Colours also vary between brands, even when supposedly identical, but it was almost always blue (occasionally blue-black) that was used and Shaeffer's blue a particular favourite equal to that from Mont Blanc. Having not used a fountain pen for some years, it was recently decided to again use one, hence the choice of this ink.Unlike in years past, the bottle is now plastic, essentially unbreakable and is shaped to help draw ink even when very nearly empty.
