on salePilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai - 50ml Bottled Ink

This ink is magical. It goes on the page as a rich medium blue but dries to a vintage looking dusty blue reminiscent of Rohrer and Klingner Salix. Nice shading too. It is one of my favorite blues.

A pleasure to order from! website easy to navigate and got exactly what I wanted.

At least with my pens (e.g., a Pilot Custom 823 with nib in Smoke) the writeout is much more like a smokey blue than a deep blue/black.

As always, you can't go wrong with Iroshizuku ink. This is a great blue black.

I love Pilot Iroshizuku inks. And this is no exception. The color is a really nice blue-black (more blue) and it is wet! It takes a little longer to dry, but I am using it with a Broad nib. So I am putting a lot of ink down of the Rhodia paper. The color is lovely. Great for work, or whatever. No bleeding, no feathering. It's very well behaved. I can't believe I didn't get this sooner!
