Post-recording notes: This cartridge was gifted to me by a generous FPNer. When heavily diluted (like washing out the cartridge), it's a nice dark blue, almost blue-black. :) The "Partial" water resistance is really "minimal" or "slight". Cleaning was easy with plain water but did require some extra flushes due to how concentrated the ink is. The ink is black, the images look sufficiently black. :)

Errata: Reviewing while kitten is awake, counting days inked, and spelling "permanence".

Line width (The "h" in Rhodia. Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 318µm. With 250 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.)

Microscope image (100x. Lots of these feathery lines. I assume the color is just due to the glass or something - there was no red or purple hue to the ink.)
