Ink Review #548: PenBBS #382 Gentiana Acaulis

Today I’ll be reviewing PenBBS #382. The namesake comes from the Gentiana Acaulis plant which is found central and southern Europe.

This ink had an average but decent flow.

Overall: This was a nice navy blue. I’ve reviewed other blue inks that are similar to PenBBS #382, so I won’t be purchasing a full bottle.
