This ink had low shading and low sheen. The color is a light blue-black similar to Taccia Ao-Guro.

I found this ink to have a smooth but dry flow. The sample was a joy to use and did not have any hard starts or skips.

Overall: This is a lovely blue-black —one of my favorite shades, I must confess! I love the hint of sheen and like that these inks are formulated to be safe for use in vintage and modern fountain pens.
