Another ink I don't think I've ever seen mentioned here.
This is DC Electric Blue by Private Reserve. I love, love, love the color of it. However, there's a bit of a problem: the stuff is like oil right from the bottle. It's heavy and ridiculously saturated. I just posted a thread on diluted inks, and diluting this one is a must. For this review, you're seeing a 25% water/75% ink ratio. Even then, it's still very intense and even feathered a little on the Rhodia.
For those of you that love Baystate Blue but don't want the issues it's been tied to, I'd recommend this as a suitable substitute.
Again, with all my reviews, to get the best picture: Click the image you see here, which will take you to my gallery page. You'll see the same image there, but click it again to enlarge it to it's full size and best detail.
