Ink on Cheap Paper #39, Muji Black Cartridge

This is the generic black cartridge included with the Muji fountain pen. It is a standard international cartridge and replacements are sold by Muji in pairs or in twenties. There are many reviews of the pen, but no reviews of the ink - which is fair considering the generic nature of it. These samples were written with the Muji fountain pen with a fine nib.
