De Atramentis Sherlock Holmes (Night Blue)

[nomadhacker]

 

Well, I can't not review what is my currently favorite blue. (though I'm digging Bleu Ocean a lot right now.)

 

Sherlock is the only fictional person in the De Atramentis historical persons series of ink.

 

I like dark blues. Though sometimes bright blues. Just never boring blues. I think this one is a good deep and dark blue. It's got more color to it than my Noodler's Blue Black (which sometimes just looks black). This one flows well. I've never had any real problems with it. It's also got some water resistance. And some pretty shading. Dry time is a little longer than most of my inks.

 

And come on, it's Sherlock. It's actually a decently appropriate color for his character. Night blue.

 

Anyway, yes it's a cool character. But it's a good color too, and a good ink.

I like the DA inks. They aren't water proof, but they do hold up in the experiments.

Elementary, my dear Watson.

Yeah, I've come to feel that fade resistance is a little more important than waterproofness, if I had to choose.

I really like the color but I found this ink to spread and feather on medium grade paper. From my experience it did not behave well at all ( except on highly ink resistant paper.. I.e - Rhodia )

I like the color, really reminds me of Private Reserves Sonic Blue, but that could be my monitor. Great review

Haven't seen much of that myself. I use this in a stipula passaporto medium nib that I carry in my pocket and use to sign receipts and stuff.

i was expecting a much darker shade of blue for a 'night' blue.

The curious incident of the ink in the night time...It isn't night blue? That is the curious incident!
