    • Hence why it lost a star.
    • That said, it loses two stars because of atrociously poor ergonomics of the cap
    • That's the only reason I gave 4 stars as opposed to 5.
    • Lost a star bc the cap was broken when I received it
    • But its good, worth 4 stars.
    • It's almost a neon-glow orange, and it dries as vivid as it comes out of the pen.
    • I use it with an adapter in a couple of Parker pens - Duofold International and a Sonnet, as well as in a Cross Fountain pen
    • It's probably not dark enough for most business use, but the color itself is so beautiful both in the bottle and on paper, as well as in the pen if you're using a demonstrator, that it just makes me stop writing from time to time and stare at it dreamily
    • I use this ink for notes to myself and friends, as well as for making notes in my reading material.
    • Very useable even for work, as well as for casual journaling.2
