I like the Blue to Neon Yellow the best- although I would purchase the Purple if it changed to any other color!

Hello Jessica,

I had those kind of markers back then (Reynolds brand). When the color changer wore out I used a basic fountain pen ink eraser which had the same effect, so my guess was part of the formulation was some erasable ink. It was a cool novelty but sharpness was a bit random because of how it spreads. It’s nice that the concept is back.

Have fun,

OK, these inks are cooler than the markers you referred to (which I did have and wish I still did). However, I had a Barbie doll whose hair color could be changed — by applying a substance that is probably similar to what comes with your inks! I think your inks are not quite as cool as my Barbie.

The Field Notes x USPS items are awesome. The president of my local philatelic society writes all of his meeting notes in one! I am hoping that next year’s Autumn Colors series will receive the Field Notes treatment.

Comment on Finding a Ink “Dupe” in My Collection by Mike F.

I have found that Sheaffer Purple was a nice, lighter purple, lighter than Waterman or Pelikan, without looking watery or washed out. It might be a good dupe.

“Was” though: Sheaffer reformulated their inks, and now I’m not even sure if they sell a purple. I’m having a hard time finding what colors are available, and the company doesn’t seem to even list their bottled inks on their own web site.

I think the photo on the left is iPhone.

The watercolor looks like it would be perfect for a stocking stuffer for my fiance!

I just got set No. 1! I’m having fun with them, too! And now I kinda want set No. 2, too.
