Are you perhaps using a thin nib which doesn't show off the shading? <br />I'm not going to make the mistake of buying full ink bottles before trying a sample first. I did this at the beginning, getting excited about an ink before trying it, and then spending money on a bottle, only to find out that I wasn't too crazy about it once I started using it.Peninkcillinhttp://peninkcillin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-43531837190858671442015-02-18T07:08:28.306-08:002015-02-18T07:08:28.306-08:00Man, I don't know; I just splurged on a bottle...Man, I don't know; I just splurged on a bottle and I've been pretty disappointed. I researched reds and orange reds exhaustively looking for a vibrant ink to do longhand editing, but this ink is remarkably dull on the page. I'm sure the color would be charming were I not so disappointed, but still . . . that disappointment is tough to get past.Patrickhttp://noogalaw.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-67053992572229071172013-11-02T13:50:16.597-07:002013-11-02T13:50:16.597-07:00I bought my father and brother journals for xmas a...I bought my father and brother journals for xmas and need to get some high quality pens to complete the gifts.

I...Oh, I didn't say I didn't want it, LOL! I have many different inks that probably could not be used in the day to day business world. However, because I am retired, I write with any color I darn well want from purples, pinks, yellows, and oranges to browns, turquoises, grays, and reds. Oh yes, sometimes I even use blues and blacks. ;-)freddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-13600209601244325112013-10-30T08:03:28.949-07:002013-10-30T08:03:28.949-07:00Thanks for the comprehensive review.

There's a gentleman on Flickr by the name of Pete Scully who makes some amazing sketches using color ink among other things. Oh and I heard some teachers love Fuyu-gaki for grading papers. Even I can use it at work to jot down notes.Peninkcillinhttp://peninkcillin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-28025152693859146812013-10-30T04:49:05.967-07:002013-10-30T04:49:05.967-07:00Thanks Freddy!
