I present to test the ink Hero Blue-Black, or traditional blue-black. For this cheap and ubiquitous. It has its supporters and opponents. Looking at the advantages and disadvantages can be seen that for a long time to dry, slightly dry, but the pen writes rustling after page without a problem. I blot, which is wet (as of this writing) and not yet dry - not penetrated to the other side !. I think I liked ...

Thank you.

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

Thank you for this review of my favorite blue-black ...... Very inexpensive at tmart.com. I use it for a lot of my writing samples, and I don't find it to be that slow to dry.

Hi Teri, do you dip your pens in this ink or do you fill them up? I am wondering whether maintenance may be an issue in using this ink in vintage pens.

This is one of my favorite inks.

I've used it in all my pens from vintage to new, and haven't had any problems as yet.

I've also used it with my dip pens.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
