 Flow, Behavior & Writing Properties

• The ink is described as smooth?flowing and designed for consistent, comfortable writing. 

• It delivers “gorgeous shades” in writing — meaning it offers slight tonal variation depending on nib, pressure, and paper.

• Because it is a dye ink (versus pigment), it is easier to flush and less prone to clogging under typical use with proper cleaning.

• As with all dye inks, it will smear or run if exposed to water, so it is not suited for highly moist environments or documents that must resist smudging.

• Several users note the ink has a mild odor — presumably from additives or stabilizers — though opinions on the scent vary

Color & Visual Impression

• The Blue?Black shade is often described as a deep, dark blue with black undertones — more “blue with a dark mood” than pure black. 

• It does not include shimmer particles or metallic sparkle.

• Shading / tonal variation is moderate; you may see darker and lighter strokes depending on ink flow and nib width.

• The color is well suited for professional use — more expressive than flat black, while still maintaining gravitas and legibility.
