My penmanship as can be seen in some posts is far, far from good BUT one thing that surprises me is how better it gets when using a fountain pen. Can't quite explain why. Odd that one.

I think it's because less pressure is required when using a fountain pen, compared to most other writing instruments, resulting in a more fluid motion. I also find my handwriting is noticeably better when using a fountain pen.

Looks very black :)
Definately the one I will go with and order a bottle on Monday.
Then I'll have to pop a pic up in here. I've only had time to scribbly with the Lamy so far.

It is indeed black-black.
Note that the above was written with an Extra Fine nib so that makes it look a little bit less saturated due to the thin lines.
With wider nib it will come across as even more 'deep black'.
I also like it as it dries pretty quickly.

Pretty black:

Looks great, cant wait to try it for myself.
I've seen that review, the other day when I first started looking at inks.
Im glad you said it dries quickly as I never even thought of that, as it would be handy for some stuff.
 


Just having a scribble, this is a much as Im showing so far of my shoddy writing ha. Only a line as I cant risk my wrist from giving up so far into a sentance ;)
This is using my Lamy Safari with the blue cartridge included. The paper seems a touch thirsty, not sure what grade it is.
The lightings not great but I couldn't be arsed to get up.
