Post-recording notes: This ink was gifted to me by a generous FPNer. It's a lighter blue, but not pale - quite bright, actually. And yet, it does have the chalky appearance of many pigmented inks in larger applications (e.g. my swatch). It doesn't really seem to lean green or purple. It's a pigmented ink, reported to be waterproof and lightfast. In testing, dry time was almost instant. During the review, it was over 30 seconds. I gave up and added a new Dry Time option: "varies".

Cleaning was surprisingly quick and easy. Like any permanent ink, it will take a little more effort, but this one needed only water and only slightly stained the mouth of the cartridge and the plastic pipette used to fill it. The harder plastic of the section was not stained and it came easily off the section and feed.

Zoomed in photo (Close, but shows more shading than my eyes see, and isn't quite as bright.)

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (AP: Too neon. Should be a little chalkier. CP: Too pale and bright.)

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 312µm. With 232 inks measured, the average line width is 295µm.)

Microscope image (100x. Three images merged to show some interesting patterns. None of the colors is right. :))
