Nice review, is this hero 232 or hero 202?

Unfortunately I do not remember.

Is Hero 202 water resistant? I know that Hero 232 has water resistance as an iron gall ink and the review shows this property.

 

Edited to say that I found this post that seems to show Hero 202 and 232 are the same.

Nice review, is this hero 232 or hero 202?

My 232 is a little darker than these images, and is one of my favorite Blue Blacks. The bottle is about 3 years old.

202 is just your basic dye-based ink, no water resistance of any sort
