Ink Properties
Shading: This is one of the ink's most celebrated features. It shows significant shading, with a wide range of tones from lighter coppery-orange to a deep, dark brown where the ink pools. This gives your writing a lot of character and visual interest.

Flow: A well-behaved ink with a smooth, average to wet flow, making it a favorite for a wide range of fountain pens.

Smudging: A notable drawback for some users is its tendency to smudge, even after it appears to be dry. This can be a concern for left-handed writers or if you're using it in a notebook where your hand will rest on previously written pages.

Water Resistance: This ink is not waterproof and will smear or wash away when exposed to water.

The 30ml bottle is a small, plastic cube that is a great option for trying out a new color without committing to a larger 80ml bottle. However, its small opening and square shape can make it challenging to fill larger pens as the ink level gets low. For this reason, some users opt to decant the ink into a different bottle or use an inkwell.
