Customer Reviews
This ink is a wonderful dark teal. It writes wet, but is very gentle on worse papers. It's a good match for the color of my TWSBI 580ALR in the Prussian Blue.
I may be coming into this one with a bias, since teal is my favorite color and the northern lights are one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, but this is just gorgeous. Even with an extremely fine nib, there's clear shading between lighter and darker teal, and a subtle hint of blackish red comes out around the edges of the darker lines. I love this extremely much. Additionally, it doesn't bleed through at all on Leuchtturm 1917 paper, and it seemed to dry pretty quickly (though the sheen around the edges took longer to appear). I am new enough to fountain pens and ink that I don't feel like I can accurately evaluate flow/shading/etc., but hopefully the photo will be helpful to more experienced people. I'm already quite sure I'll be buying a full bottle of this.
Diamine Aroura Borealis is one of my favorite inks. It writes very well and smooth out of my TWSBI ECO.
I love using this ink, anybody looking for a nice everyday ink to use anywhere should give this a try, I am very picky with my inks and I love love this ink!!
The ink flows well and is a beautiful color. I will definitely buy the full size bottle.
