It does dry quickly and it flows through a nib like a divine, lubricated shadow. It is not entirely waterproof though. It will rinse just a bit (a rusty super deep golden brown runout) under extreme treatment. Diamine registrars blue is the only ink for fountains that I have found to be truly waterproof. If you write with a pen that has a large and exposed feed, there will be some drying and clogging after prolonged use with the KG. Parker 51's keep an extremely live line going. So do the Pilot Vanishing Points. I've tried it in all of my pens and though I love how it writes out of my Visconti, and super flex Eversharp and Conklin, it makes for the requirement of some extra attention and cleaning. It's worth it though. Especially if you are a pen freak and bother looking up posts like these... This ink is in my humble opinion, f-ing delicious. An essential for true believers of handwriting in the modern world.<br />It's about 35% cheaper to buy it in Japan than the US. <br />J.

What is that squiggly line at the end of your written reviews supposed to be?<br /><br />What is meant by this eBay text, "The flow of this ink... in a pyramidal way"?<br /><br />And just to give you a hard time, you say in the middle of your review that you don't know which is blacker Kiwagura or Noodler's Black, but at the beginning of your review your opinion is that Noodler's Black is blacker. So, what do you think?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684034442614432829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248789477087021622.post-63527825110429294742010-03-26T14:08:09.813+01:002010-03-26T14:08:09.813+01:00Wonderful review and pics!Wonderful review and pics!Speedmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193689033214490178noreply@blogger.com
