Post-recording notes: (This review is from a short cartridge.)Cleaning was fairly easy, but some decided to cling in the section, so pen flush or swabbing may be needed to get it all. I probably exaggerated flow: "wet" is more accurate than "very wet". This is that blue that's too close to rollerballs and ballpoints. Seems to be the Waterman version of the mandatory Royal Blue... It leans slightly to the red (purple) side, but not so far as to be blurple (see comparison to Sailor Nioi-sumire). As usual, the camera didn't want to pick up the true color. The absorbent paper image seems to have lost all trace of red while adding a bit of neon... The zoom isn't too bad, but still a little too bright blue. The scan is also not the right shade of blue, and to my eyes, the writing on the page doesn't fade nearly much toward the bottom. The screen capture is pretty good, but maybe a little too dark and the smears on the dry time aren't quite the right shade (I think a little red is needed) (and on my phone, it looks downright purple - grr).
