My new favorite ink
Amazing ink! I've been a fountain pen user since 1986 and recently acquired a dip pen a couple of weeks ago. I don't do calligraphy and is my first and only iron gall ink. It beats all my fountain pen inks in terms of quality. It's the darkest black color I've ever seen - it looks like black soot on paper! The ink initially appears grey and watery, but becomes soot-black after 3-4 minutes. It's hard to believe that my $10 dip pen writes better than all my fountain pens. My use my dip pen for taking notes (at home) and writing letters and thank you cards. I guess I'm hooked to dip pens now and regret why I hadn't used them earlier.
