Ink Review #629: Montegrappa Blue Black

Today I will be reviewing Montegrappa Blue-Black. This is a pale ink that leans more on the blue, vs black, color range.

This ink had a very dry flow with low saturation.

Overall: I had mixed feelings on this ink. The color is unobtrusive but very dry. I would recommend using this in a broad or wet nib.
