Making Pilot Blue Black Wetter?

@minddance: I am very sorry, I didn't understand that you actually meant me. I will try to upload a picture in the next few hours. Unfortunately I am busy with work now.

 

Edit: I attached a picture. Unfortunately I don't have access to a decent camera, so my phone has to be sufficient.

In reality the colour is much darker. It even show some sheen now. I don't know what happened to either the ink or the pen. My only guess is that the feed was really clogged with something and is completely clean now. I filled the pen and immediately discarded the first fill to get rid of the water which was left in the feed after cleaning and filled it again. Maybe this made a difference.

 

I wrote for 5 pages straight and the colour is still lovely.

Small update on this topic: I nearly wrote three fills now with the 823 (so I guess around 4ml of ink).

The colour is still gorgeous: a rich deep and dark blue, even shows some red sheen.

Again, the colour which can be seen in the picture is too light, in reality it is much darker.

 

I guess I will sell every other ink own and order one of the 350 ml bottles, because suddenly I don't need any other inks.

Well, maybe I will try to switch sometimes which inks I use in other pens. Eclat de Saphir/Bleu des Profondeurs are really nice too. But I don't use many pens at once so I guess I will stay with two pens filled at the same time.

 

Edit: I am sorry, but I don't know how to turn the picture.

I would encourage you to keep your inks. Habits change, pen collections grow, number of inked pens can grow too...
