I bought this expecting to really like it but, no - just too washed out looking. I wanted it to be darker.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Perhaps try it on different paper or in a different pen? Ive not experienced it being washed out yet.

I've tried it in different pens. It's not the ink that looks washed out, it's the color. Deep Sea Green is the same.

Oh I see. Deep Sea Green is certainly quite grayed and faded. Tsuki-Yo is much more saturated. It's not ultra-saturated like KWZ blues, or Diamine, but it's much more saturated vs. something like Sailor Jentle Blue-Black.

Thanks 4 this mini review. I loved it! I am a blue ink person. When I started with fountain pens 3 yrs ago I started buying plenty of colors except for 1-2 blues as I wanted try new colors. And then last year my love for blue inks was rekindled and now I am buying a bunch of different blue inks. Among them this one and I like it very much!

It's very helpful to see those images.

Thank you for your kindness in reposting them for those of us unable to view other versions.

      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..

      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
