Thoughts
Levenger Blue Bahama is a light turquoise ink which behaves surprisingly well on copier paper. The show through and bleed through are minimal, but the feathering is moderate to extreme.
This is an ink I like, but I don't think I would use it often enough to justify the purchase of a bottle. If you like the color and its properties, it's often on sale for $10 (20 cents per mL).
Uses:
- Personal journaling
- Informal correspondence (The color is too light for formal writing)
- Note-taking
Pros:
- Minimal bleed through and show through
- Not very expensive (24 cents per mL)
- Well lubricated and easy to clean
- Excellent shading
- Slight red sheen
Cons:
- Moderate feathering on low-quality paper
- Not very water-resistant
