Pilot Namiki Blue Black Fountain Pen Ink

Pilot Namiki Blue Black is a Blue-Black fountain pen ink.

Here on the channel there is a new ink review posted weekly. I get inks test them and share the results with you, so you know before you buy. General thoughts on the ink are given. Four different pens are used to get a varied experience with the ink. The writing samples are transcripts done from “Of Men and Numbers” by Jane Muir published by Dell Publishing Co, Ink and was first printed in April 1962. Last there is also a paper review done each week… at least until I run out of different papers. Two chromatogaphies are done, one done correctly and one after the ink has dried for 10 min. A resistance test is done on Rhodia paper and is tested for how it performs when you highlight the writing, water, pen flush and 1/3 bleach solution are also tested. There is also a nib, pen and paper recommendation for this ink.

It is important with this and all reviews to remember I am not an expert. I am just a nerd with a camera and an opinion. I expect my opinion to mostly be wrong as it is just my solitary opinion, make your own judgement and don’t follow group think. There always seems to be some variation of an ink, pen or paper. These are things out of my control and I can only give my opinion on what I have infront of me. If your opinions are different I encourage you to share them in the comments but please rememberI am an amateur just having fun…. Also, me and everyone else you interact with on line is a human on the other end of the computer, they might be having a bad day and your kind words might be the best thing that happens to them today.

All pictures for this video were taken by me, including the background picture which I made or transformed in photoshop and the video is edited on Adobe Premier Pro. Also, every element for this video was made by me. I am in shock if you have actually read this much of the description, if you have comment and let me know you found this.
