Honestly I have to admit that I was looking for a real deep true blue when I ordered this one.
The Appelboom Service was perfect as always and it arrived within 24 hours! ????????
When doing my first test writing I was a bit disappointed being it not as dark as I expected it to be.
So I ordered the Montblanc ultramarine which is what I really was looking for. A real deep true blue.
When filling another Montblanc with Pelikan sapphire to give it a second chance I started liking it. It isn’t a to dark and deep blue but it is a true blue. No greyish or black tint.
And as all my inks it is more on the wet than on the dry end.
I am a tiny bit disappointed by this ink. The color is a little more purple than I would like. To be fair, it's definitely blue, not purple. It's just not as much of a "true" royal blue as I was expecting. That said, the ink flows well and does not feather, even on poor quality paper at the office.
The Topaz ink is excellent. It is a nice blue-black color. The ink flows well and does not feather, even on poor quality paper. I am using it primarily in a Montegrappa Nerouno with a medium gold nib.
The Topaz ink is excellent. It is a beautiful lighter blue color. I wouldn't say turquoise, but it is lighter than royal blue. The ink flows well and does not feather, even on poor quality paper. I am using it in a Pelikan M805 with a medium nib.
These inks are fantastic to write with. They help the pen flow gently on the paper and it is easy to clean. The price is also fantastic. You cannot go wrong by using this ink..I would highly recommend it..
This ink is a gorgeous blue-green ink which is more on the bright green side. It has good shading and the words look great when written with a pen that has a European Medium or Broad nib. The Edelstein bottles are very solid and would look great on an office desk..
