P.w. Akkerman No. 8 Diep-Duinwaterblauw

[visvamitra]

PW Akkerman shop has big offer of products. But so have other shops. None of them though has ink ink in such a cool bottles:

Akkerman ink is PW Akkerman private label ink that can be bought in 30 colors:

While it's never been officially confirmed some people (me included) believe Akkerman is actually repacked Diamine ink. There's no shame in it, guys. Just admit it

Anyway a sample of Diep-Duinwaterblauw was sent to me by fellow FPN-er. Thanks mate.

The color is a deep blue black with a hint of turquoise that I can tolerate. Ink behaves well and feels smooth even in finer nibs.

This one doesn't grab me. But thanks for the very comprehensive review, nonetheless.

Thank you, my dear, for your wonderful efforts, but this colour...

I love this colour.

I love this colour too, despite my partner (an Aussie) calling it Deep Dunny Water Blue - slightly off-putting....... :-)

Looks nice in the writing samples but seems like it can be a bit dark as per the paper towel.

 

Thanks for the review!

Another nice review! Is this one similar to Twilight?
