I am doing an AMA organised by Grouphunt. Go over there to drop your questions. The AMA goes live this Saturday 12th September 8pm to 10pm (GMT+8). Thank you for your support!
This is the 2nd Akkerman ink that I got as part of a mass order some months ago. This is the Akkerman Laan van Niew Oost-Indigo. Whew! What a mouthful. (or rather what a handful?) The name translates to Avenue of New East from dutch. I am not sure what is the significance of the name though. This ink probably works best in a wet nib or wider nib sizes. The colour can look a little less saturated in my Japanese F nib. Regardless the ink shades very well. It goes from a dark blue to a dusty matte blue. Overall it is a good subtle colour for corporate but it doesn’t really speak to me.
Also looking at the swatch between Diamine Indigo and Akkerman Indigo they look very similar if not identical.
Similar Inks:
- Diamine Indigo
- De Atramentis Atlantic Blue
- Diamine Presidential Blue
