Sailor Ink Studio 224 Review

[dragondazd]

This is my second ink review. I purchased a sample of Sailor 224 recently. I tried 123 and while I liked it, I wanted something a little darker. I thought this one would be darker since the number is higher and it seemed to have similar multichromatic characteristics.

 

It was hard to tell the difference between 224 and 123. It did not seem significantly darker to me (if at all). 

 

I was considering how much effort I wanted to put into comparing with 123 directly and seeing if I like 123 more now, but then I heard about the new Manyos coming out and I suspect one of those will fill this gap for me. I'm just going to wait for the new Manyos with a grey component (well I'll be trying them all honestly).

Thanks for your review, @dragondazd!  My nibs aren't big or wet enough for these.

I really like 123, and after looking at your review, after I use up my bottle of 123, I might get this as a replacement. Just a little darker would be nice, and I'm curious about it being slightly bluer.

Thank you for the review. I admit , I woulld be upset if this were my bottle of ink.

Thanks for the review.  I love 123 and I got 224 for same reason.  I haven't opened it yet.  

My fine and XF nibs are wet writers or oriented towards flex so I have no issue using them w/ 123!
