on saleDe Atramentis Atlantic Blue - Ink Sample

I test with a metal-nib dip pen and found this particular color a bit frustrating: it is a true blue, not a blue-black, but it was not dark enough for my taste and ran a bit thin. Not ****, mind you, but I would prefer a richer color.

This color is a nice dark blue, with a lot of tint in it. The flow seemed just a little on the dry side in my Plumix stub.

I like the color and got it today. The color is great however, it ships. I am using it in MB 149 stub italic. The ink skips: after writing 6-10 words it stops writing then writes, then skips...see attached photo..

I love the ink samples. You get quite a bit to try out. Very nicely labeled and packaged.

I got this thinking it would be along the lines of my Noodler's Polar Blue... Because of the obvious standardization between manufacturers when using names that evoke thoughts of icebergs and white bears that eat penguins. That expectation was, thankfully, smashed. This is a very nice *dark* blue that doesn't leave it's blueness behind. The darkest blue I've got other than this is the Lamy Blue-Black and this is just as dark but all-blue.As much as I like it, I'm not planning on putting it in my daily carry just because it's... Well... It's just blue. A VERY nice blue, but I like more interesting blue for every day use.
