Baystate Blue Ink - multiple demonstrations

Noodler's added the feature of an eyedropper filled ink ball this January. Every Baystate Blue 4.5 oz bottle already had an eyedropper brush pen and fountain pen included. This is our continuing way of saying "THANK YOU" for your support of this ink - and in addition, a handful of waterproof labels on the 3 oz bottle are being circulated this year (standard labels are not waterproof). They are briefly described in the film - and are more than worthwhile to anyone who obtains one (we will send you a standard label at your request if redeemed). Again...thank you for your incredible support for this revolutionary ink.

Mr. Tardif, I own and use BSB, but I have to comment on your logic - just because you have a paper on which BSB does not feather does *not* mean it isn't a feathery ink. I think we can all agree that feathering is a spectrum, not a binary, and in that spectrum, BSB is more feathery than Bulletproof Black, no?

@gfrank98 Please see earlier reply to this question.

"Please find a source for US pens," The rule is - the ink is the primary product and the pen is the ACCESSORY to the INK. The pen is the tool that gets the ink upon the page..and once that ink is upon the page it can make you immortal if the ink is good enough and what you have drawn or composed memorable enough. The ink can write on many surfaces and with many different pens. I failed at making a competitive US pen for 20 yrs, how long was I supposed to try?

@InkNeedLastForever I love your inks, and over half of the inks I have are yours. And I completely agree with this sentiment. I was wondering if you would consider selling the preppy roller ball converters on their own. They work beautifully, and for us on a budget, and will practical needs/left handedness, they are a godsend. Would you consider selling them on their own? I would buy two dozen in a heartbeat.

@FUBAR956 A little bleach or hand sanitizer (alcohol gel) will assist in cleanup. But a syringe or pipette will eliminate most spills and make your life a lot easier.

I just got my bottle of Baystate Blue and I actually can't wait to get to work Monday and start signing stuff. I got some on my finger while filling my Lamy Studio. Question is, how do you get that ink staining off your fingers?

@28ggeiger But that's why I love it!

Obviously an entrepenuer with geniune belief in the inherent worth of his product and rightly or wrongly, that it's his way, or no way.

Nothing wrong with that. He seems in the mold of Henry Ford, or one of many turn-of-the century, proud independent manufacturers that made the 20th century for us - the best of which were part businessman, part inventor and part philosopher.

There should be more like him and this is exactly what I would have hoped for.

Is cleaning with bleach needed just for aesthetics, or also required to prevent interactions with other inks like Bulletproof Black? Is a good water rinse not enough for that?  Just wondering because I don't care about color left behind, but some pens have metals that I don't want to apply full strength bleach to (nib collar in Pelikans). If bleach is required I'll just not use those pens with this ink.

While I love the Bay State Blue color, I was disappointed in this video. It's too much of a rant. Had the tone been more positive, it would have made a better presentation.

It would be interesting to see bulletproof Noodler's ink for inkjet printers.

Thank you for this video Nathan. You answered many of my questions and it was an interesting presentation.

I love my Baystate Colours, and the blue is certainly special. I use it in a Wality eyedropper, but love the idea of using it in a brush pen. Thanks, Nathan.
