Learned an important lesson: Don't put Electric Blue Spider Lily in an EF Kakuno. Or any EF, I suppose. Maybe nothing smaller than a stub or flex nib. It's far too light and you don't get any of the shading. Tried a few different papers and this was the darkest.

If the CON-70 was easier to empty I'd have dumped it back into the sample vial since the pen was freshly cleaned and dry. Guess I'll try to find some use with it for doodling.

Photo of a clear Pilot Kakuno fountain pen above a writing sample on a piece of lined paper.  The writing sample is in very faint light blue ink with extremely thin line width reading "Pilot Kakuno EF - Ink Institute Meander / Electric Blue Spider Lily" followed by "XX ++" and a few curlicues.
