on salePilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai - Ink Sample

Oh I love this ink color because it is beautiful when wet and then as it dries, depending on how it is applied, it changes its color to a darker blue when the wet blue ink touches the drier part of the application. It's so lovely.

The ink is good and looks great in the demonstrator pen (Asvine V200) that I am using it in. The color is fairly consistent although a light stroke vs a heavy stroke does definitely impact the depth in the color. I don't use a lot of colored inks but am a big fan of Pilot inks and this one has not disappointed.

I lined up my pilot with this ink. It is beautiful on the page. It flows so nicely. Will be looking to get a bottle of this soon.

It looks like a dustier, grayer version of R&K Salix without the shading that Salix has. Spreads a bit more in comparison to Salix or Montblanc Midnight Blue. Seems to flow very well and has good lubrication. Worth a sample.

Kind of a let down after seeing photos of this ink. I expected good shading and flow. My experience was dry, lackluster ink. Id recommend a Colorverse ink instead.
