Review & Giveaway: Private Reserve DC Supershow Blue Ink

Hey folks! I hope you enjoy my review of Private Reserve's DC Supershow Blue fountain pen ink - this bottle was a gift from my friend. Speaking of that friend, José has kindly offered to sponsor a US-only giveaway for you lucky ducks!! After I force you to read my review, you can enter the giveaway at the bottom! 

ABOUT

Color: Blue
Bottle: 50 ml
Price: $8.80
Price/ml: $0.17/ml

 This ink dries at what I would consider a normal speed - not fast, not slow. With fine nibs, it's pretty quick, and with wetter nibs, it takes a little longer (30 - 40 seconds) but that's not all that long with a wet nib.

PROS

• Nice, classic blue.
• Exhibits some shading.
• No feathering.
• No bleed through.
• Minimal show through.

CONS

• Not water resistant. 
• Unattractive label on bottle/box. 

OVERALL

Private Reserve DC Supershow Blue fountain pen ink is a classic deep blue ink. It's a well-behaved ink - it doesn't feather or bleed, and for a fairly saturated ink, it has minimal show through. It is quite affordable and is a great basic blue for work, school, and everything else, especially if you can ignore the unattractive label. The only real downside is that it's not water resistant so if you need a water resistant blue, you'll have to look elsewhere. Otherwise, I recommend you give this ink a go.

Please read the terms and conditions to make sure you qualify for this giveaway! Due to high shipping costs, this is a US-only giveaway! I'm sorry to eliminate half our readers, but shipping is just about the same as the cost of the ink itself!
