Akkerman 09 Laan van Niew Oost-Indigo

Akkerman 09 Laan van Niew Oost-Indigo from the Standard collection is a medium blue-grey ink with low shading. It dries in 60 seconds in a medium nib on Rhodia and has an average flow. Akkerman ink originates in the Netherlands.

This deep indigo-blue ink has wonderful shading properties, with a slight grey lean.

Originally made to celebrate their 100th anniversary, this ink comes in a vintage-style 60mL glass bottle with a narrow neck and a marble stopper that creates a well at the top to aid in filling pens, allowing you to get every last drop of ink from the bottle. Akkerman inks work well in all types of pens, modern and vintage alike. It boasts an ideal viscosity and flows well in all types of nibs while available in a great range of saturated colors.

The name of this ink is a play on Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië (Avenue of New East Indies), a major street in the Hague.
