Does look light. But I like the shading. And it's water resistant. Two qualities I like in an ink. Too bad it's not distributed in the US.

If I could only ever have just the one ink, this would be it. It is the one that I would suggest everybody tries at least once - even if it means buying it from 'abroad' as it were. And it works a treat on Moleskine paper, especially in a nib that's not too wide.

Fabulous stuff.

This is the ink I use for everyday business use. It behaves quite well on many types of paper without attracting attention to itself.

I snagged a bottle of this a while back, but didn't get around to trying it 'til last week, when my new Binderized Pelikan arrived. I've really been enjoying it. Perhaps it's the pen, but mine does dry darker than in the pictures here. I've even managed to glimpse a faint bit of sheen.

I was fortunate to acquire a bottle of this a couple of years ago, and it's a terrific blue-black. Mates very well with wetter writers like Pelikans. Works well with all types of paper as well. Thanks for the review!

That's the role Rohrer & Klingner Salix plays in my ink collection, great on every paper I've written on. Still wish I had Pelikan Blue-Black. I keep thinking one day I'm going to walk into a pen or stationery store and find some forgotten bottle on the shelf.

 

Maybe my next Cult Pens order...

I'm using this ink to test all my new pens but in the past I've rarely used it for actual writing. But these days I like it more and more. A bread-and-butter ink. Also, in Germany this stuff matches bread and butter in terms of availability and pricing :)

This was my first ink, a half liter bottle I bought 25 years ago! I still use it frequently and like it quite a lot.

The same, 25-year-old 500 ml bottle?! I wonder if I will still use any of my bottles in 25 years time.... :)

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

I love this ink. My main ink for correspondence. I bought from an online Pel dealer from Wales, known well enough around here. We don't pay VAT or sales tax, which offsets the shipping charge so I don't think the price is too much difference even ordering it from abroad.

I'm impressed. My Pelikan inks were the ones to get chunky and icky.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

...actually, no. I didn't find it amusing whatsoever, especially when it was first on TV in the 80s. I have some pretty weird tastes in comedy but that wasn't one of them.

Oh... I'm so sad. If you get a chance, just look at Season 1, Episode 2. Cat is told he can't bring his racks of clothes, just 3 suits. Otherwise he would be left to die. Cat replies in all earnestness, "three suits is dead". I sometimes feel that way about ink.

Just ordered some of this online sight unseen...looks like I did OK. This may become a standard for me next to Noodler's Heart of Darkness.

 

Cheers!

This is more grey than blueish, indeed...

Ditto. I find it okay but not fabulous. There are so many "other" b-bs out there that the competion has become quite stiff. I'd buy it (very inexpensive and has very good maintenancve) but I already have it and prefer 10-12 "other" b-bs.

      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
