Caran D'ache Grand Canyon

How is the flow?

I have a bottle of this ink that I haven't used in over 4 years, but has been stored in perfect condition.

Upon using it now, I find the flow to be really poor.

The pen I'm using is a Waterman Expert.

Check out the review section. I don't believe I complained, and I whine about inks being too dry.

Hi,

 

Here's a few samples of down-strokes from different pens on 24lb laser copy/print paper:

I thought the flow was normal on CdA Grand Canyon.

 

It's the other strangeness about this ink which I didn't like.

 

It changes color to green, while sitting in the pen's reservoir.

 

I just cannot abide a duplicitous ink that changes its personality.

Absolutely not, I reserve that defect for people I date. (just kidding)

 

This ink has a great bottle, alas, it just didn't sing to me like it does for others.

Hmmmm, thank you all for your thoughts.
