I bought this ink on the suggestion of Jen over at bestfountainpen.com. It's certainly dark, it doesn't feather, it takes about 5 - 10 seconds to completly dry, but so far I have no issues with it (except turning my fingers blue, but I write that off to being a newbie on filling from the ink bottle ! ). Great service and great shipping.
I really wanted to like this ink. It has a very wonderful deep blue color with a generous red sheen. But it's not the ideal ink in all pens. It's behavior in the pen is quirky. Some have stated that it writes too dry. Others have stated that it bleeds too much. As stated in my review on Fountain Pen Network, it's a great ink looking for the right pen. If you have one pen and are looking for a daily use ink for all papers, I'd pass on this one. If you are willing to throw caution to the wind, then go for it, you crazy-ink person.
