I'm a bit confused in your terminology,

 

It's a dark UNSATURATED blue....

 

and the next line:

 

It's very SATURATED, shades nicely....

 

I'm thinking your referring to two different properties of the ink, the second the dye load, but could you clarify what you mean by the first?

 

My monitor shows this as a dark blue in the extreme, with a tiny bit of shading. Which of the pens did you use for the body of the text? The Noodler's flex or the Herbin glass pen?

 

BTW, Love your reviews, already bought way too much ink because of them! :puddle:

Thanks for this great review. I really enjoy this color, though only in broader nibbed pens, as it looks nearly black in an XF nib.

Gah! Didn't catch that. And thanks! It's most certainly a saturated ink. I wrote this review at 1:30 in the morning and it had been a very long day :headsmack:, so disregard the unsaturated remark.

 

The the main portions of the review are always written with the same Noodler's Flex as the title and the Flex example. :thumbup:

Indeed, looking forward to my bottle as well. Thanks for a fine review.

Thanks for another great review. I was expecting more of a navy blue ink rather than the almost black on my screen :mellow:. Lovely close-up of the shading! :thumbup:

To quote Willow (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), "Bored now."

 

In other words, nothing's wrong with the label. It's great! I have one just like it!

I got a bottle of Starry Night Blue from the recent sale. I may have to try it in a wider nib as I was hoping for a gorgeous dark blue. Mine seems as dark or darker than your scans here in a Lamy Al-Star F nib. I really want to love this ink.

Gah! Didn't catch that. .... I wrote this review at 1:30 in the morning....

 

That also explains the lack of "sheen" rating (you started it!). I've yet to create an "oh-dark-thirty" sheen detector, also. ;)

 

Another thing, what is "bleedout"? Other than that, another marvelous ink review, of which I''m closely analyzing for valuable info. Your reviews are incredibly helpful.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
