I really adore the color of this ink, but it has a weird flow when used for pointed nib calligraphy. It pools off the nib when it makes contact with the paper. It's not as bad as something like Noodler's 55th Mass, but it's close. As soon as you apply any pressure and spread the tines on the downstroke, the ink just pools off. That's a shame, because any inks that make it into my go-to list of inks that I find useful have to work with pointed nib calligraphy. I wish there was a rating system for inks for suitability for calligraphy, especially pointed nib.

I just bought a bottle of it; that says it all!!!

This blue is bright and has beautiful shading

I use a Pelikan m605 with a fine nib. I was having problems with ink flow using Noodler's Blue American Eel; not sure why, as Noodler's has worked very well in my other pens. Anyway, based on reviews I read, I decided to try the Kon-Peki after cleaning my pen yet again. Was very pleasantly surprised by the wonderful ink flow that helped improve the overall writing experience. The ink worked very well with the Clairefontaine paper; I have also been able to use the pen on less expensive printer paper with good results.

I really enjoy this blue. I don't see all the color variations because I use an extra fine nib but I I love the way my notes look with this color.
