Post-recording notes: The microscope slide was boring. Cleaning wasn't too bad for a permanent ink. You'll definitely need extra flushes. You may need a pen flush or a swab depending on the material your pen is made of - I found that it left a slight grey film on some surfaces, but no staining.

The color does not like being captured. It's similar to Prussian blue, a greyed blue, with a slight hint of green (only in comparison, really). Forgot to mention that it tries to bleed through, but doesn't quite succeed.

NOTE: My mini WiFi microscope used for zoom, absorbent paper, and water test images died today so I had to use the old USB microscope instead. These images will seem different from previous reviews - good for the close-up aspect, not so much for color. A new, different model, microscope is on the way - can't get the same model any more.

Audio: There was a thunderstorm while I was recording, so you may hear some thunder or rain in addition to vehicles.

Line width (One of the lines used for dry time. Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 360µm, with twelve divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 360µm. With 237 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.)
