Franklin Christoph - Black Cherry

[Yazeh]

Thanks @junglejim for the sample. A very interesting colour for those who enjoy chameleon inks. This ink may look brown or purple or both depending on paper /angle.

Look at the chroma:

However, look at the richness and beauty of this ink with a wide/ wet fude nib. The paper is the thick Tomoe River 68 gr.

I would say that the only downside to this ink, is shipping price. If you don't plan to buy a pen from and live outside of US, well you need to forget about it
