on saleDe Atramentis Document Ink Blue - Ink Sample

Very water resistant and very lubricating. I use it in a Platinum EF with a cartrige that I refill. Not a problem whatsoever in starting

I was looking for an ink that works well on cheap paper. This is not it, not for me. It tends to bleed through and has slight feathering on the paper I have to use at work. In reality through, it's not any worse on that paper than a lot of the other popular inks out there.

DeAtramentis document inks are great for watercolor & ink sketching; they don't clog my pens, are truly waterproof, and a good value for the price.

I tend to have sweaty hands sometimes and this ink won't budge or smear. Perfect for me. The color is a beautiful blue. Ive got my Kaweco Sport fine nib navy inked up - great combo!

This is a beautiful, well-flowing, professional blue ink. Not too dark, not too light, and very, very waterproof. I am planning on using this as my everyday blue ink, because it is a lovely blue ink, that stands up to water and coffee spills well. I have used this on basic Mead notebook paper with no bleedthrough, very little showthrough, and no feathering (though that may be because of my preference for needle sharp nibs). Dripping it with water shows little to no color loss, and rubbing it with a cotton swab shows only a little color spread, but bits of the paper come along with it. Moleskine paper has similar behavior to the Mead paper. It does requires a bit more diligence and care with the cleaning of the pen. It has slightly stained an extra-fine Platinum Preppy that I bought for ink testing, but nothing that didn't go away with an evening's soak in an ammonia/soap/water solution. I imagine I would need to rinse every few fills to make sure everything works well. I have been duly impressed with this sample of ink, and will look at purchasing a bottle of it to use regularly.
