I tried to adjust the color to compensate for my scanner and monitor. It is close.

Looks great, and remarkably well-behaved on the Moleskine. Cool ink and fun review!

It looks excellent for understated line drawing, and I like yours!

It is nice for drawing. I may have to try more drawing with my inks.

Very good! I love seeing scans of these colors. I have only one bottle of this ink so far but yearn for more!

I tweaked it in photoshop to bring it as close as I could to what I see in my moleskine. Of course, monitors may vary too.

Here is a quick sketch using asa gao in my moleskine.

Thank you for the review -- this is a most interesting blue!

This is my favorite of the first Iroshizuku inks. When I first started using it I was kind of disappointed... little shading and it was just another blue ink. But after going through Quink and Lamy and Pelikan blues, I realized what a unique and vibrant colour it is. It's always in one of my pens now. I don't mind the lack of shading anymore. It might shade better with a wider nib, but I really like how it looks with a fine point.
