Ink Review #334: De Atramentis Standard Dark Blue

Today we’ll be reviewing another De Atramentis ink! This is their Standard lineup—which, unlike their Document line, cannot be used for archival permanence.

Swabs:

This ink had low shading and medium sheen. This is a dark navy that is almost blue-black. It’s similar to Bungubox x Zodiac Libra and Sailor Sou Boku but is lighter than Taccia Ao-Guro.

Writing Sample:

This ink was wet and smooth, with a consistent flow. I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Overall: I love water-resistant inks and this one kicked it out of the park. I love the color, shading, and flow.
