Too much purple, not enough black for me, but thank you once again for another flurry of reviews! You're on a roll!

Isn't Superchrome the ink that even Parker 51s couldn't handle? (And they were originally designed for using Superchrome in....)

I must say, though, that the color is really interesting....

Thanks for the review. I think....

Yes Ruth, this is a review of an ink which did that and which has not been made for a very long time. So long ago that I personally only know one person who is alive today who could have purchased a new bottle of it.

I saw a bottle of Superchrome in an antiques mall a bit downriver from me a couple of years ago. I did NOT buy it....

Last year (or two?) I tried out Superchrome Blue-Black. I don't remember so much purple in it...more like an ordinary blue-black, leaning less blue and more toward black. I loaded a Chinese pen, one of the modern versions of the P-51 Vac. 

 

Sometime this month, I will post some pictures of it.
