HalloweenHJB, that sheen is impressive. I shall have to put it in a wetter pen.

I got a free sample of this ink without any idea of what to expect. I found the color unique and appealing in a Broad nib, and so-so in a fine. The elusive sheen is a bonus, but other inks come by that more readily. So, a nice surprise, an ink I would like to have for use in Broad applications, and the ink is priced in a "sane" price point. I give it a thumbs up.

Amazing review as always, thank you!! My bottle is on its way and I am so excited! The sheen is wild! I hope it lives up to the price.

Just picked up a bottle at the LA Pen show today. Can't wait to try it out

Mine did arrive today and I have had a brief play with it. Very dark dipped, and almost turquoise in my Neponset! Amazing yet bizarre!

The sheen on this ink appears mainly on Tomoe River Paper and it comes into prominence once you leave the ink in the pen for a week or two where it darkens considerably.

I couldn't agree more. The color is terrific, and it's what attracted me first to the ink. However, the sheen, on good paper, is not minimal. At least not when used in a fairly wet vintage Eclipse pen:

 

 

 

OMB I nearly fainted seeing this sheen!

Thanks for the review LGsoltek and for your followup pictures H!
