Today’s review brings us to the last ink of the Cat Series: Cat at Midnight. I’m always on the lookout for a nice black ink, so I was very excited to review this sample.

Cat at Midnight had an average flow and saturation. It had less saturation than other black inks (Pilot Carbon Black, Pilot Take-Sumi).

Overall: This is my favorite color in the series. The ink behaved well without a fuss, and I liked the saturation; I felt that it set this shade apart from other black inks.
