I hope you’ve enjoyed this series. If you were unable to purchase the Inkvent Calendar, then I hope this settled your mind about experiencing the colors. If you fell in love with a color (or a few) from the Inkvent Calendar, then I hope this freed you to use them since you can get color dupes.
I want to provide an easy reference post so you don’t have to click through 25 separate blog posts to find the dupe names. I’m only listing the ink that I feel is the best overall dupe. If you want to see the comparison swabs or the other dupe options, you can click through to the corresponding post.

Thank You!
While I bought, or already had, most of the dupe possibilities, some were gifted to me by generous friends in the DC Metro Pen Crew. Thanks to everyone who helped out.
And thanks to you, for joining me on this 25 Days of Dupes journey.
What is your favorite everyday blue ink?
I don’t really use blues all that much, but I enjoy Diamine Prussian Blue and Diamine Presidential Blue. Both are softer and less in-your-face than the bright royal blues like Kon-Peki and Nitrogen.
