Review.

A V-E-R-Y creative review. I just bought a bottle and like it very much. It may become my "daily blue."

One of the coolest reviews I've seen!

This is one of my favorite blue inks. It is a nice deep blue, without any green or gray overtones.

Loved your unique review!! I hope you'll be able to post more like it.

Tequila,

 

Loved your review. The ink, however, reminds me too much of the blue of those Bic pens we used as kids, because they were cheap. My penmanship suffered because of them. Anyway, great review.

 

Regards,

I agree! Thanks for the great review! This is one of the best-looking blue inks on the market, in my opinion. It does pretty well on bad paper, but for one-sided writing only.

Grand review, mine shows a little lighter in real life but I love this ink!

American Blue is a terrific blue. My only problem with it is that it's the most washable ink I know of. Just threatening to put the paper under the faucet makes it disappear. :roflmho: This makes American Blue the ink that goes in my seven year old granddaughter's FP. (There's an up-side to everything).

 

My standard blue that I use myself is American Blue and Swish Glacier Blue mixed 50/50. Glacier Blue is waterproof but kind of dull. Adding the American Blue really spruces it up and it looks good. If it gets wet, some of the blue washes off but what remains is there for forever.

This review prodded me to buy a bottle at my local dealer. Thanks a bunch for the super cool review!

 

It's a pretty nice blue, although I found it a bit boring; it's quite dark, and as shown above has little shading. It feels like a "workhorse" blue to me, and I'll probably use it as such, trading off with a "workhorse black." I find it moderately difficult to flush from my pens, like most PR inks. It takes a lot of flushing to truly wash it out.

 

Once my watercolor-like ink fetish dies down, I'll be revisiting this "boring" blue--it is simply a very good color, just not super exciting. Highly useable for personal or work use.

Just got a bottle from Pendemonium. Wow, it turned a couple of scratchy writers into very nice running pens and is flat fantastic in a new Javelin I just got. Love the color.

Nice review. American Blue is one of my "workhorse" inks. It is what I think of when I think of "blue."

[Imzadi]

Very fun and concise review. Great idea!
