This ink had high shading and medium red sheen. The color is a saturated blue without any undertones and is similar to Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki .

PenBBS 512 had a smooth, wet flow. I did not have any trouble with hard starts or skips. The color pops in person and is very cheerful.

Overall: I thought that this was a stunning pop of blue. I love the shading and flow.
