It has been stated that the Bay State Blue is not at neutral pH, unlike other Noodlers inks.
Does anyone know what is the chemical makeup of modern inks? What in the world is actually in Baystate Blue that cause that result? It's obviously something different than others. People claim other Noodler's inks have cause problems. I wonder what' in Noddler's that is unique to the brand. Why is there not similar results when the ink is bottled or put into a sample vial? I've never had any problems, and I have documented my like for Noodler's inks.
If I wanted to go about back and mix up a batch of ink, what components are in it other than some sort of pigment?
Bummer about the pen. Did you at least find the nib since you had it taken down to needlepoint?
It'll be somewhere on the back lawn tomorrow.
