Passage Blauw - P.w. Akkerman Ink No. 1

[visvamitra]

Few years ago PW Akkerman started to offer ink private label. The thing that makes their inks special is cool bottle. The colors are nice as well and it remains mystery who makes them for Akkerman.

The rumor has it the mysterious ink maker is Diamine. My experience with these inks makes me believe that's the case.

Passage Blauw is intense, cold and saturtrated blue that I rather enjoy. It may be similar to Diamine Mediterranean Blue however at the moment of creating this review I didn't have MB samp[le to compare them.

Looks almost Baystate-esque. Very nice.

I have Mediterranean Blue, and they indeed look very similar.

Interesting light blue color. Yet another fantastic review.

Interesting review, and a nice colour indeed (wonder why I don't have this one yet?).

 

Like probably every Dutch pen lover, I have a couple Akkerman inks; they are very good, the bottle is classic, and the shop is a pleasure to visit.
