CONS
  • Expensive. 
  • No shading (as is expected with a black ink), but I find this unfortunate anyway. 
  • Flow is a little slow in wide nibs (such as calligraphy nibs).
OVERALL

While I generally find black inks very dull, I was pretty impressed with this one, but only because of one thing (can you guess what it is?): the sheen. The only other black ink I have so far seen with this is Sailor's Kiwa-Guro pigmented black ink. This one is not pigmented therefore it's much easier to clean, it has some water resistance, and it has a sheen. I can't complain too much.

I received this ink free of charge for the purposes of this review. I was not compensated monetarily for my review. Everything you've read here is my own opinion.
