This is one I have been keenly interested in but, now that I see it with your Pilot EF, I'm not sure I want something this dark (though it is quite nice). For regular writing I'm gravitating more to shades that are soft and light while still being highly legible, and I typically use Japanese Fs.

 

So, another useful review for me - thanks!

A Japanese F, especially a wet one, would likely still be very dark.  I'm thinking my Lamy stub, which is rather dry, might be perfect for this ink - spread it out and thin it, so to speak.

 

You're most welcome!

Nice one … thank you for the review. Looks like an off-grey leaning towards purple-blue to me. I’m a sucker for off-grey inks, so this one’s colour appeals to me, even though it is indeed quite dark. I haven’t gotten around to give it a try yet… I have a bottle of it that I added to an order, but that I almost forgot about. It was on my list for a test-drive, but now I will certainly fill up my next pen with it.

So many inks...  Looking forward to your impressions, should you choose to share them.  Personally, I think this ink will be more interesting in a larger nib where some color range might be more apparent.

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 330µm.
