Noir Et Bleu - Franklin - Christoph

Bravo to FC for another great looking ink

Definitely on my short list.

Hope they have a presence at Baltimore Pen Show this weekend

If not there's the DC show in August

It looks very similar to their Black Cherry, which I quite like. I think their Urushi Red is the most successful of their range in terms of an interesting and quite unique colour.

I want to like this ink, but it does seem kind of flat. Thanks for the review!

Personally, I have not found most of these inks to be dry; quite the opposite. Most of the one's I've used have been right lubricant, the only one that didn't seem so (though, I would not call it dry) is Benjamin Franklin Green (2016 Philadelphia Pen Show L.E.).

 

 

I'm in this camp as well. The FC inks haven't been dry at all for me, and I live in a fairly dry climate (S. Texas). They weren't wildly wet like my experience with Caran d'Ache or Omas inks, but dry? Not at all. Not nearly as dry as Pelikan inks of every kind, which will literally make nibs squeak on a page.

Thank you for this review! Blue-black is my favourite ink colour. That is why the word blue black ist always an eye catcher for me. But just judged from afar and without personal ink test, this is not an especially good example of blue-black. But anyhow it is extremely interesting for me to hear of new ink manufacturers!
