Post-recording notes: This is what I consider a true blue-black - enough black to really darken and de-saturate the blue. Unfortunately, I can't find it for sale at any of the US stores I generally use. Though it's a dry ink, I think if you want to see the blue and shading, you need a drier pen with a wider nib. I might try it in a stub.

Also unfortunately, the ink is so dark that the cameras really didn't pick up what color there is. I did my best to capture the blue. I was most surprised to see coppery sheen under the microscope! I don't see any from the pen, so I guess you need a very wet pen to see it.

Cleaning was easy and fairly quick, but it's pretty concentrated, so you may need a few extra flushes.

Zoomed in photo (Fairly close to what my eyes see. Maybe a little too black.)

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (Both close. Copy paper seems to "eat" the blue, showing only grey.)

Line width (The "I" in "Ink:". Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 267µm. With 302 inks measured, the average line width is 297µm.) (You can barely see color, but also little bits of sheen.)
