Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

It's definitely blue with a splash of purple. Hands down the best match for a 'tardis' blue ink i've been able to find. It subtly stands out over other blue hues and is a vast improvement over plain ordinary black.

The ink bottle is solid and weighted at the bottom, which adds to it's elegance. It's has a very deep and rich look, with a good level of permanence. The conical bottom is an ever so practical idea.

The color is beautiful! Very nice color and nice packaging as well. This imho is an excellent match!



Cons

This asa-gau ink is just blue. I am sure the hefty bottle and pretty package cost the manufacturer more to produce than the ink did.

All the iroshizuku inks behave well in all of my fountain pens.


All of the pilot iroshizuku inks are rather wet, so even with a pilot/namiki extra fine nib, you will get a very smooth and ple...  Read More


I predominately us iroshizuku ink and find it the best, although pricey.
