Got any links to the Dani Trio pens? I.e. manufacturer and stuff? I realize I can look on Google, but then I'd have to sift and filter.

Or if you want a true shade of darker blue, go with Private Reserve American Blue, or DC Supershow Blue. I like blue myself, and most of my pens are filled with Noodler's Blue. If you want a really interesting ink color, try Private Reserve Blue Suede...it's a crazy greenish/bluish color that tends to show off different shades once it dries. Shading can occur with any ink but it's particularly easy with Blue Suede, when using a fine nibbed pen. Looks really cool and stands out a lot when you can get it show on an envelope. It's an effect you could never hope to achieve with a BP or RB. |

If I am lucky, I might have a 2nd FP soon to use them both! |

Using finer or wider nibs didn't change it either. There are some people that got a bottle that is that blueish color, so there are variances out there...it's just luck of the draw on that particular color. The chart is pretty accurate on Naples Blue and Blue Suede, if you're using a medium nibbed pen. With finer nibbed pens, Naples Blue is totally a bright turquoise, and Blue Suede is much brighter than that chart shows. You can sort of see the shading effect that Blue Suede has in the very first thin line on the left. Naples Blue actually shades pretty well too, and you can see a bit of it in the waves there from the crest to the trough. I have bottles of both myself but haven't filled any pens with them lately...both colors are definitely a bit too bright for business-like situations. |
