on saleDe Atramentis Silver Grey - 45ml Bottled Ink

This is a very well behaved ink. It is a true gray on the lighter side and flows well in my pen. I have tried it in several pens and it flows nicely in all of them. The color is a bit on the lighter side and has a true gray appearance. I tried several other grey inks and liked this one the best.

A nice warm grey that looks bold and pretty; not like graphite. From a fine nib, it is pretty visible on the backside of cheap paper.

I love this color. It looks exactly like a pencil and in some pens I even get a little drag--like a pencil, which I love because I love the way a pencil writes, but it doesn't smear like pencil does over time. It is a calm color, not urgent like black. I make To Do lists with it and have written notes. It is also good for crossword puzzles. The lists are less in your face with their urgency with this ink. I like lots of different ink colors for different reasons. This has become a favorite color. The flow in the pens I have used (two) is good and wetness may depend on the nib. (?) I really cannot speak to water resistance since I haven't subjected it to that test. Those issues aren't important to me. The color and mood the ink creates are great for me!

Wonderful grey color, reminiscent of soft pencil, this color is a pure grey, with no undertones of brown or green. Lusciously wet and smooth with substantial shading and very water resistant when dry.

I'm no ink expert, but I wanted a shade of grey ink that would look like a pencil. So I ordered a sample vial from Goulet and was delighted with this ink. It looks great when writing technical and programming notes with my Lamy Safari medium. It flows reasonably well and is quick drying.
