Note: The scans show the ink darker than it shows up in real life. In real life it's a little less dark and shows more shading than the scans show.

My conclusion in a nutshell is that this is a great looking ink with some bulletproof capabilities. It is not completely waterproof/eternal, but it holds up well after being run under the tap and soaked for a while. It leaves behind the writing in gray (the bulletproof component of the ink) but some of the brown washes away. I would be completely gung-ho about this ink if it wasn't for the slight issue of it starting hard in my Vacumatic. It might just be the pen though, and I will update this in the future with my findings after I either try it in a different pen, or try a different ink in my pen.

I've tested this ink too and I'm afraid that it's one of the inks I like least. The color is too somber for writing, though it looks great for sketching/drawing. I have also noticed that it is very dry. It is easily the driest ink I've tested. Thankfully I only got a sample and not a whole bottle.
