It comes in a 30 ml bottle. It cost me 7.18 GBP ( 41 RON)

As you can see, it is a pretty light color of pink and depending on the paper it can be hard to read especially if you use F nib. I think the ink looks best when used in a M nib fountain pen. In the F fountain pen I had some problems with starting it up and it writes dry.

It dries pretty fast! You can see that the 5 seconds is only a little smudged. After that it is 100% dried.

Not waterproof.

In the first picture you can see the paper I wrote the review on. It is Quablock from Pigna, 80 g/m2. no bleed through.

In the second picture I wrote in a cheap planner with thin paper. you can see a little bleed through.

 

All in all I give this ink an 8/10. It is a pretty pink but not for everyday use. But if you have a wet pen and a special ocasion, give it a try! :D

Thanks for the nice review. Good start and keep them coming! The paper properties are interesting. I'm not really into pinks but this one's bluishness makes it worth giving it -- as you say -- a try.

I love this color in theory... But I have a bottle of it and I haven't found a situation where it's appropriate yet. :<

 

I think it's a little too light to be easily readable except in particularly wide nibs. (And I tend to prefer fine nibs)

I have this bottle of ink more than two year, still I used once. Its to light for being readable, especially with my fine nibs. maybe will use it to color some paper, don't know. Kind of one of my useless ink.

I tried a sample of this recently and found that I just didn't care for the color. It had too much of a lavender tinge for it to really be "pink" to me. It was a little light -- but more legible than Diamine Kelly Green had been. Mind you, I had Rose Tendresse in a Parker Laidtone with a semi-flex oblique nib).

Oddly, under incandescent light it appears more pink and less lavender. Unlike Iroshihzuku Kosumosu, which I found to be more of a watermelon pink under incandescent light....

      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
