This looks more blue-black than blue-gray on a more absorbent paper, like the cardstock I was using earlier but didn't think to scan/photograph. On Clairefontaine, this is pretty much what you get. I wish it were one of the more colorful blues, but I can't fault how well-behaved it is in this pen.

I like this one and when I'm using it, alternate it with the Diamine Indigo which I find just that little bit wetter.

Looks perfect coming out of 1930s pens

Thanks for this review. I have this ink but I don't like it because I find it -- even for a blue-grey -- too light, too watered down. There is IMO something missing. Maybe MORE saturation, maybe more blue?

I'm on the fence about it myself right now--I too wouldn't mind a touch more blue or saturation. Fortunately, I have plenty of blue-type ink samples to go through!
