PROS
- Pretty bottle.
- Very easy to clean.
- Shades nicely in wide, wet nibs.
CONS
- Somewhat expensive for 30 ml of ink!
- Fairly unsaturated.
- Not very legible in very fine or dry nibs.
- Almost no water resistance.
OVERALL
I'm not wild about this ink. I like the bottles a lot and I don't mind unusual colors, but this one is just too unsaturated for regular use in my rotation. One of the most positive things about it is that it's very easy to clean out of pens, which is great if you have a hard to clean pen, or a vintage pen that is difficult to clean thoroughly.
I received this item free of charge for the purposes of this review. I was not compensated monetarily for my review. Everything you've read here is my own opinion.
