Colorverse Gravity Wave

Recommended Posts

Now I know I'm hooked. This review is of Colorverse Gravity Wave. This is the 4th ink I've bought from these guys. They are $36 a piece so I must like em. Attached you can see pictures of all the extra stuff you get with the ink. I think the themes that the ink center around are the most fun. Gravity Wave is part of the Astrophysics series from season 2. There are 8 colors in total. I have attached a picture of all the other colors. The brochure gives you surface tension of the ink as well as the ph and even a RGB formula... presumably to be used to recreate the color with computer software? The ink itself is very well behaved and doesn't bleed or feather at all. I used both Rhodia and HP 32lb paper in this review and there was no bleed through and no show through with the ink. I have been using this color for a little while and have never had any hard starts with it. All in all its a great ink. Its a little pricey, but it really is fun getting a real bottle and a "mini me" bottle to go with it. I hope you enjoy the review. I would love to hear what everyone thinks.

Nice review. I think I might like it (the ink) because its tealishness is turquoisy enough.

Not a color for me, but thanks for the review. Seeing reviews of inks I *don't* want is better for my wallet....

Great review! I also love Colorverse Inks, although their habit in some of their kits of including a smaller bottle of a very different color does annoy me sometimes (especially when it's a color I really like). The same color kits, or the ones like the Hayabusa where it's regular/shimmer are great though!

Another color I've tried from this brand and found thoroughly badly behaved.

 

I really do not like colorverse. Which is a shame, because I am a complete sucker for space themed stuff.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
