I am a big fan of blue inks, from highly saturated, to blue-blacks, even to teals. This was a wonderful addition to me collection of blues, in that I find it distinctly different in one key aspect - it is not so bright as many of the others. I love that it is somewhat subdued. With perhaps a hint of grey, it dries to what some might call 'chalky' or 'dusty'. I would have named this Prussian Blue (although Diamine has taken that name, I didn't like Diamine Prussian Blue). This is well-behaved, so much so that I can use it on cheaper copy paper. I bought a sample, but will get a bottle and this will definitely become part of my regular rotation. Highly recommend it for blue lovers.

Love all the shipment of inks

Love this ink. It behaves very well in all my pens.

Blue's mah thang, and I love trying ink samples of various shades of blue. While Diamine Blue Velvet is still 'my' ink, I just ordered a bottle of De Atramentis Atlantic Blue. This ink flows wet in my Pacific Lamy EF. It lays down a dark sheen of ink that dries quickly, turned to the color of, yes, the Atlantic on a misty day. Under bright lighting I noticed beautiful shading�with an EF!! It's well saturated, well behaved, and I can easily recommend it to overhand lefties like me.

This gives me a very nautical feel. I love the colour.

Love the color

My previous review, I gave a 3 star review since the ink in my MB 149 stub skip a lot when I wrote or tried to write with it. However, I rushed to the conclusions based on one nib point which I should not have. When I filled my MB 149 medium and later extra fine nib, the writing was excellent. I liked the fact that it dried fast. And, shading was very good.

Decided to move from cartridges to bottled ink, pick this because like the shading and color. Very true to the colors displayed in the advert.

I bought this ink for Christmas and I love the color, and I am using it with my new Monteverde Invincia. When wet, the color comes out slightly more blue, but dries to a blue-black color. I think the name of this particular ink, Atlantic Blue is apt, as the color is a deep blue but not of a brilliant cobalt or indigo tone. It dries relatively fast, at least on the paper I am using right now (copier paper). There is only slight shading.

I'm very glad Goulet Pens provides samples of their inks, as I had to obtain quite a few before finding what I needed, an excellent dark blue professional looking ink like often seen on old documents. And that's what the DeAtramentis Atlantic Blue ink is, and it makes writing with my antique 1940's era Schaeffer fountain pen look like it did when it was new. Many of the other colors are great too but this is what I needed for all my serious writing.

Atlantic Blue reminds me of the intense color of the Atlantic Ocean. It dries to a dark flat blue with a hint of grey overtone. I prefer it to Blue Jean and Indigo by De Atrementis for color and being able to read a full sheet of script time and again. The Micarta EF nib allows an even smooth 7 of 10 flow.

I was looking for a blue that would look like it came from the 1940s and this is close. It leans towards a blue/black and dries with a hint of green/turquise . The swab does't do it justice, and this on cream paper looks vintage. In fact it is very very close to IROSHIZUKU TSUKI-YO (MOONLIGHT) which is twice the price and harder to spell :0). I found this ink to dry in 5 secs and and although it is not rated as waterproof, I would trust it on an envelope in the rain.

This doesn't have a lot of flash, but it works perfectly in my Noodler's Ahab pen, and I will definitely buy another bottle when this one is out. This would make a great blue legal ink.

This is a beautiful darker blue ink that writes extremely well in a Pilot Metropolitan (but what doesn't?). The pen and ink were Christmas presents to my wife, and she is enjoying both.

I am fairly new to fountain pens, but I purchased a Noodler's Ahab pen and a bottle of a different brand ink. It leaked and seeped from the nib and feed, and I thought I had a bad pen until I switched to this ink. Now the flow and feel are improved, and there is no seepage or leaking from any part of the pen. The color is attractive and clearly blue, but it doesn't slap you in the face. It's what I would call a Cadet Blue, blue, with a hint of grey. I would recommend this ink to anyone looking for a great performing and understated blue.

I like the ink. I do not have much experience with other brands or types...yet.

I love the color - writes between dark and medium blue and dries to a lighter blue with maybe a gray-green undertone? Has some light feathering, but I was writing on cheap paper. Also since I an a newbie, I had an x450 which was having issues with skipping. Think there was air in my pen and had to squeeze it out and refill the converter. Wrote better after for longer period, but then was skipping again. Wrote well after a good shake of the pen. Ink seems to dry quickly. But, still lover the color.

Used a sample of this in my TWSBI Vac 700, which writes very wet after I did some tinkering with the nib. I adore the color of this ink. It goes on very dark, dries slightly lighter, with a bit of grey in the color. No feathering on Apica, Clairefontaine, or Rhodia papers. Nice and bold color, very little shading. I also found this ink to be very smooth...more like an Iroshizuku ink in the writing feel than some of the other less-expensive brands I've used.

Maybe a little darker (read blacker) than I wanted. Considering experimenting with dilution.

I really like the Sherlock Holmes better, but this is a great backup bottle of ink.

I can't decide if I really like the color or if it's just slightly off, enough to bother you but not that big of a deal. I seem to flip flop about it a lot. In any case, it's not ugly, despite my flip flopping on how much I like it.

De Atramentis makes some good flowing and well behaved inks. This is no exception. It is a very, very dark blue. Good saturation with some shading. Well suited to business use in lieu of a true blue/black.

I am pleasantly surprised about the quality and look of De Atramentis inks and after a great experience with Aubergine, I had to try Atlantic Blue. This ink is very similar to Noodler's 54th Massachusetts, just a shade darker. Seems well behaved in my pen and I certainly will try other De Atramentis inks in the future.

When I first put it on the page it's either a dark blue or a dark teal. When it dries it turns this beautiful shade of a grey/blue. This shade reminds me of the ocean colour -- ever changing. Do they make a big bottle of this because I would buy it. Love this colour. I'm going to keep some pen inked up with this from now on. One of my go-to colours.
