Well, this image is washed out and terrible. Sorry. The images in Michael R's review really capture the true color of this ink, which is quite beautiful. Girlieg33k has a nice review of this ink as well, but her scan looks considerably bluer than what I see in real life.

 

My flow troubles didn't end with the PFM III, sadly. I also found this ink perishingly dry-to-skippy in a Sheaffer Snorkel Clipper that is an otherwise wet writer. It's just as well. As much a I enjoy looking at this ink on the page, the color's just not 'me'.

 

It worked great in the dip pen, though, and the little sample vial I have is enough to hold me over for that use for plenty of time.

 

Anybody else have flow problems with this ink? I may give it another try one of these days, but not anytime soon.

I had no flow issues with this ink. It is in a Rotring Core, fine point right now. Previously it was in a Waterman Phileas M point. Again, no flow issues.

It arrived to me with my last ink's order of J.Herbin from Penandco.com (by the way great sevice, communications and offer by Jean Elie and Sandrine) , but I haven't time to test it yet apart from a swab sample...I hope I'll have no problems.

 

Anyhow thank you for the review, on my monitor color seems quite accurate, only a bit more dull.
