Ink Review #273: Blackstone Sydney Harbor Blue

Today we’ll be reviewing a new company! Blackstone is an Australian company makes water-soluble, pH-neutral ink. Sydney Harbor Blue was inspired by waters of Sydney Harbour on rainy days.

Swabs:

This ink had medium shading and high red sheen. The color reminds me of Diamine Aurora Borealis and is a teal blue.

I liked this ink a lot! I’m usually a fan of shading but loved the intensity of the sheen. I found this to be a wet ink that behaved well.

Overall: This is a lovely teal ink with great shading. I especially like it as it is water-soluble and pH neutral.
