Pilot Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink - 50 ml Bottle - Ajisai Hydrangea (Purple Blue)

I just got this ink, and i love it! The color is wonderful and i couldnt be happier.
Seems a bit watery but i'm not sure if thats because i just cleaned my pen..

After using a lot of the well-known medium blues from Sailor, Private Reserve, Parker and others, I was really looking for a blue that was different -- without being eccentric or weird. This is it. Beautiful color, not as light as the package depicts. Look at the scans here on Jet Pen of the Iroshizuku colors -- they match almost exactly with what I get from a Pilot Vanishing Point (m) fountain pen. This ink does run a bit wet, compared to my other blues, and on Moleskine notebooks using the medium nib, it does make two-sided writing difficult. Will switch to a fine nib, rather than switch inks. My new favorite blue!

The color is okay. I expected to be more impressed based on the price/reviews. It's nice, but I'm not speechless.

One of the few inks in this brand that I give 4 stars instead of 5. The ink goes on beautifully, but as it dries, the color becomes a little flat in shade. The other colors in this brand have had intense colors, but this is one of the few that I prefer from a relatively fine nib [OM] as opposed to my larger B or OBB nibs. Gorgeous while wet, but again, a tad pastel as it dries. Just dull enough that it may be work appropriate in some offices.

The behavior matches that of other shades in this brand. Nice flow, behaves well on a variety of papers. I'm using this in expensive pens and no staining or nib creep so far.

I'll buy more, I think, but not as quickly as the "purer" colors in the rest of the line.

This shade of Iroshizuku is a beautiful shade of a dark blue with a very subtle, sophisticated touch of green. Works beautifully in my Lamy 2000. Solid and not too flashy, and it is suitable for formal business documents
