This is an older review, and my opinion of this ink now is mostly negative, though I will admit that I haven’t traded the bottle and do still use it, but only with fine nibs. It’s an interesting concept and message, but the end result and usability of the ink is very limited.

I can’t tell you exactly how long it soaked, but it was probably 10-30 minutes. Washing away the yellow component of the ink really doesn’t take long to do.

Here’s a fantastic ink with a fantastic backstory. Notice the bleached writing sample and how the tamper-resistant bright orange component serves as sort of a fraud alarm.
