Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi Ink Review

Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi Ink Review

Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi is a great black, flat and neutral in tone, like a lump of coal. It’s not as black as, say, Aurora Black but it’s not far off. I really like this one. Here I am doodling the Inkling. You can find some more reviews of Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi on Pennaquod. Many thanks…

Diamine Cult Pens Deep Dark Blue Ink Review

Diamine Cult Pens Deep Dark Blue Ink Review

A lovely dark blue (the clue is in the name) with just a touch of red if it pools. Not a lot of shading but good flow and good dry times. Here I am doodling the Inkling. Thank you very much to Cult Pens for sending me this ink in exchange for an honest review.

J. Herbin 1670 Bleu Ocean Ink Review

This is a pretty boring blue ink until you get the golden shimmer shining through. Then it’s very pretty. It does need a fat wet nib to make the most out of it. Here I am doodling the Inkling. Here’s the pretty shimmer. Thank you to both Pure Pens and Paul Joynes for sending me…

Pelikan 4001 Violet Ink Review

Pelikan 4001 Violet Ink Review

This is from Pelikan’s standard range of ink and is a pretty average kind of purple. It’s quick to dry but the colour doesn’t really inspire. Here I am doodling the Inkling. You can find some more reviews of Pelikan Violet on Pennaquod.
