Ink Review #553: Backpack Ink London Navy

Today I’ll be reviewing a new (to me) brand! Backpack Inks are manufactured in the United States and can be found at Pen Realm. These inks were created by a father and son duo and contain only three ingredients!

London Navy is classified as a blue-black ink though I think it is more of a dark teal. It had high shading and low sheen.

This ink had a wet, even flow.

Overall: This is a lovely, well-behaved blue-black ink! I recommend it if you are looking for a blue-black with a bit of a greenish pop.
