View fullsize I’ve purchased this ink on a whim, not knowing what to expect beyond the colour of th eink. I’m pleasantly surprised to find how good a shading ink this is. Like its name, the colour is deep and rich. The dark teal appeals to me a lot. And the dryness is a good…

My thanks to Ana of Well Appointed Desk for the ink sample. Nitrogen blue is a sheening ink. But that’s not a surprise for any one now. I’m pretty late to this bandwagon after all. It’s a dark blue ink that’s super saturated and lubricated. It shades well and has a strong red sheen. You…
View fullsize This is the last of my TY Lee exclusive De Atramentis inks that I’ve purchased from them a few years ago. I really enjoy this colour. It’s a muted green-yellow with a strong grey undertone. It shades subtly even in my 1.lmm nib. Unlike the other TY Lee exclusive that I’ve reviewed, this…
View fullsize This is my first experience with Colourverse inks. It is thus far a very enjoyable ink to use. Kepler’s Laws goes down lika bright red but dries to a more muted colour. It doesn’t shade much and remains relatively flat even in my 1.1mm nib. Personally this colour isn’t my cup of tea…
View fullsize I got this in a long time ago and had assumed I’ve reviewed it. Turns out I’ve not. So here it is. KWZ Brown Pink is an interesting blend fo colours. It verges on the purple end of colour, shading very well even in my EF nib. It goes from a deep dark…
Waterman Inspired Blue is a wet and lubricated blue ink. It’s saturated and shades moderately. I enjoy how it makes my nib glides across the page. This is a good first impression to my first time using Waterman inks. I can see why it is a go to ink brand for many. View fullsize Similar…
View fullsize Benzaiten is one of Pilot’s 100th anniversary inks. It’s a soft pink colour that shades beautifully going from a pastel pink to something stronger and vibrant. Among all the 100th Anniversary colours, I like the yellow (Pilot Iroshizuku 100th Anniversary Daikokuten) which I’ve reviewed previously and this one. Both are unique colours to…
My thanks to Louisa for the ink sample. Or Audaciux is french for bold gold. Does it look gold to you or is it just brown? GOld is a very trickey colour to get right. Putting aside how true to gold this ink looks to you, Louis Vuitton Or Audaciux is a beautiful shading ink.…
My thanks to Rongli for the ink sample. St Dupont Turquoise is a bright turquoise on the blue end of the blue-green spectrum of turquoise. It is a relatively wet ink but it dnd’t write well in my Pilot Myu 701 F despite it being a dry nib like this TWSBI Mini 1.1mm nib. In…
My thanks to Sunny for the ink sample. Now Slowpoke Green is right up my alley. I love greens in the green-yellow range especially the darker ones.It shades really nicely even in my European fine nibs. It goes from a dark forest green to a muted sort og grass green. And with its excellent dry…
