Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The one complaint I hear from many people who haven't tried this ink and the reason most haven't tried it is becasue of the price. True it is fairly expensive compared to many other good inks but the pleasure of writing with it makes up the difference and more. Compared to other more expensive inks this seems like a bargain. I have had the pleasure of trying most of the colors in this collection and I really do like all of them but orange is my favorite color so I am naturally drawn to this color. For purposes of this review however, I will talk about the characteristics and quality that represent the whole line of colors (I have not tried the newest colors released a couple of weeks ago in the US). One of the characteristics many fountain pen users appreciate in their inks is how well the shade. I believe these to be some of, if not, the best ink for that particular quality. I also love the fact that they are all heavily saturated, and offer unique colors. I have not officially timed their individual dry times but I can tell you that they are not remarkably quick drying inks. So they are not inks that you would want to take quick notes with if you have to close your notebook quickly. Another issue for some people will be their lack of waterproofing. Which I assume also means they are not the best for check writing or important documents. But for times when you are writing for pleasure and want to enhance that pleasure with some beautiful ink this is a wonderful choice. Besides the beauty the ink offers Pilot has really gone over the top with their packaging and bottle. The Japanese influence in the design and craft of the product from start to finish is noticeable. As a whole this is a wonderful product that has been made with attention to detail.
