Post-recording notes: This was from a cartridge. It's a blue blue of the shade that reminds me of ballpoints and rollerballs. I don't like it, but if you do, it behaves well and is inexpensive. Cleaning was quick and easy with plain water. The color of the ink in the video seems too light.

Errata: In Essri's quote, it should be "uth" not "us". ;)

Zoomed in photo (Seems a little chalky in the image, but it's not in real life.)

Screenshot (Close, but the color may be a little too light and bright.)

Scan of Completed Review (This has the most accurate color.)

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (Both are pretty close.)

Line width (One of the lines used for dry time. 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 292µm. With 241 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.)

Microscope image (100x. Not that exciting, but it looked pretty anyway...)
