Document Ink BLUE.
Color: Blue,
Content: 45 ml.
This exclusive handmade ink is suitable for fountain pens.
The ink is produced according to the requirements of ISO 12757-2.
I am sorry: after testing again I believe that my previous review of Document Blue was too negative. Bleedthrough and feathering only occur when the line is extremely broad, and of course much more on cheap paper. I would amend my previous rating to three out of five stars.

I will use this when restricted to a blue colour for some reason on some official document, but aesthetically I find De Atramentis Document Blue less pleasant than any other blue I tried.
The colour is a very dull, muted blue; but my complaint is not about this: in fact this blue readily contrasts with black, which might be desirable.
Document Blue is so wet that I find it completely impossible to have a fine line: even with an EF nib I could never achieve a line finer than what I would call an M. I saw some feathering and bleedthrough even on expensive ClaireFontain paper which normally performs very well. This in my experience compares negatively even to a plain and unexciting alternative like Faber Castell's royal blue.
However Document Blue *is* water-resistant: no complaints on that front.
If a different colour is an option I recommend document Urban Sienna as a superior alternative.
