Sep 07, 2019 Now I understand the phrase "well-behaved ink". I have been a dedicated "other brand" user for many ears and bought this ink to try out. I wish I had purchased these inks sooner. I would have saved money and would have enjoyed my fountain pens more. I prefer fine point nibs but occasionally write in medium-fine or wet medium. This ink used in medium or fine fountain pens is not overly viscous so nibs tend to write true to size. In other words the nibs perform as they were meant to be. It does not overly saturate the paper so letters don't blend into one another in script and my handwriting appears neater and cleaner. Yet, it is still a wet ink so pens that tend towards being wet writers will remain so, just neater. It is true matte black and the blue-black is more of a greyish blue like the old fashioned archival blue-black ---quite distinguished looking but still closer to blue. Depending on the nib size and flow it shows shading and solid color throughout. It dries fairly quickly and enhances my penmanship. I recommend this product for the obvious cost savings but mainly because of the superb quality. The ink comes in heavy duty plastic bottles. The cap flips up and there is a pull tab that pulls off to reveal a tear drop opening. There is a pouring rim along the wider part of the tear drop. My recommendation is to place a napkin or tissue above the cap when pulling the tab off to prevent any tiny droplets splashing from the force. Its not difficult to remove but not overly easy either. My understanding is that this ink is made by Namiki which makes more expensive quality inks as well. I believe it. I recommend this ink very much for daily use.Read full review

Dark black, smooth flowing ink. Some pens actually seem to write a little more smoothly with this than with Montblanc black. Nice bottle, typical careful and high quality Japanese product.
