Post-recording notes: I had a feeling this would stain (didn't want to come out of the pipette or off the walls at the bottom of the sample vial), so I put it in my Penmanship and a cartridge (one with a metal agitator ball). Cleaning wasn't as bad as it could have been. Nothing stained, but once the ink dries, it has to be scraped or rubbed off (e.g. from around the lip of the cartridge and off the shoulders of the nib).

It's a warm black, but from this nib, it just looks black.

According to the De Atramentis website, this ink has a lightfastness rating of 8 (the highest) and "is produced according to the requirements of ISO 12757-2".
