On the surface Syo-ro is very simlar to Ku-jaku, but Syo-ro is closer to a deep-yet-bright forest green. Though I prefer Ku-jake, I LOVE both.

There are rumors that Diamine makes all of Akkerman’s inks, and debate within those rumors as to whether they are simply re-branded or slightly altered version of Diamine inks. Either way, this ink is very nice.

But it’s also VERY similar to Diamine Majestic Blue…

LOVE this ink. It was the third bottle I ever bought. It softens on the page after a few days, as delicate as the name would suggest.

Goulet gift cards are the best!

I found this while sorting through some old reviews that needed posting. The Montblanc sample was written with a very wet writing Waterman. though since Montblanc callously murdered the iron gall formulation of Midnight Blue I guess it doesn’t matter all that much. 😦
