These are the inks that I currently have in pens.

Thanks for posting. That American Blue has some awesome shading for a saturated ink. In the same pen, does Visconti Blue look similar to it?

The Visconti Blue and Ebony Green are the same pen. The pen was bought with Ebony Green in mind but I received the pen first and had to try it!

EDIT: Rhodia Paper, BTW

I would say Visconti Blue is slightly lighter than the lightest shading you will ever see with American Blue. They are both wonderful colors but I prefer the Visconti better because it has better techincal properties (flow, lube, dry time, feathering, etc.). You won't get very much to any shading with Visconti, though. It dries a pretty solid blue.

However, I also have a bottle of Ebony Blue that I haven't tried yet. If it shades anything like Ebony Green, it'll be a great looking ink.

Thank you. I have the Visconti Blue, and I find that it shades beautifully on copy paper, but on Clairfontaine and decent Mead paper it looks pretty solid.

That Ebony Green looks great! Too bad I just made an ink order half an hour ago.
