Customer Reviews
It's a bit difficult to describe the color, but a shade of teal probably describes it best. It's actually closer to a green black than a blue black. It behaves well on fp friendly and cheaper papers. The shading is great. I'll be ordering a bottle soon.
Although I loved the color, I was a bit disappointed that the color ran just a bit when I applied watercolor. Not as water resistant as I'd hoped.
I was really hoping to get that nice green teal shown in the swatches, but this ink is so wet that using my glass dip pen with it on Tomoe River 52gsm white paper just came out black with a hint of navy. I hope to try it in my Lamy Safari with a M nib soon, and see if that, or watering it down, lightens it up enough to get that shading effect.
This ink was very dark in some of my pens, including my Noodler's Ahab. It was so dark in fact, that it was almost black except for the slightest teal shade. However, it works really well in my Lamy Studio Aquamarine (M). That pen seems to be a little dryer writing, so the Air-Corp comes out a little lighter. I love it! Definitely one of my favorites.
I love this ink! The color is lovely and I really enjoyed taking notes with it. I didn't have problems with smearing (I'm right handed) in my Clairefontaine notebooks. I used this sample in an EF Platinum Preppy. Hoping to add this ink to my collections when the time is right.
