Quite washy, but a good ink nonetheless.

yea, its pretty washed out, but it flows good through my plumix.

It should be noted that this ink is quite water-resistant.

Basically what everyone else has said already. It writes well, but once the ink dries, it's very faded. Since I started using bottled ink, I haven't touch any of my Pilot cartridges, but this thread is actually tempting me a bit to dig 'em up.

I love Pilot Blue ink carts. It is nice and vibrant from my Fine (XF) VP nib. Does it look more washed out with wider nibs? My only regret is that the dry time isn't quite as fast as Waterman Florida Blue. I only notice because I get smeary hands when I use my VP to cross off grocery list items.

I agree with all the criticisms. But the cartridges themselves are wonderful, the seal is so tight and secure. I've drained and rinsed a couple and have begun using them in place of the aeromatic-style converter. Undoubtedly it's user error, but I'm only about 80% successful at filling it all the way up; and because the rubber bladder is opaque I'm never sure whether I filled it or, later in the day, how much ink is left. With a syringe and needle I can fill a see-through Pilot cartridge and be sure.
