Nice (unusual) colour

This is a nice grey, slightly warmer than Iroshizuku Kiri-Same but otherwise very similar. It has a tendency to bleed a bit more on regular copy paper, and even bleeds on Rhodia 90g ivory Clairefontaine. On unabsorbent stock eg uncoated business cards, it does not bleed and shades beautifully.

Very Pale

Maybe it was just the pen I had it in, but even in a European M I found this ink far too light. Maybe in a very wet writing pen that lays down a lot of ink this would be okay. But for me, it won't make my growing list of awesome grays.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
