I agree that this blue black is too dark for me but it performs very well. When I flush it out of my pen I see purple, not blue. This ink makes me feel like I’m colorblind. I’m looking for blue but I only see it faintly in sunlight.

Thanks for the reminder, i subbed :)

I like a color that looks almost black. But zerooo shading has me sketched out.

I want to pick one of the dutch masters inks so i can get the bottle at least :P

And since its such a big bottle, something i can use often like a blue black makes sense.

Hey Ink Guy, love your tests. Was wondering if you have the Caran d’Ache Chromatics on your list. It would be nice to know if any of them justify the price of the nice bottle.

I got this ink yesterday after waiting almost 2 months for it to get here. It was worth the wait! This is the type of bold Blue-black that I wanted. This ink and TWSBI's Blue-black are perfect signature inks for documents. This is one smooth writing ink.

Ill get the other ones in samples and go from there :)
