Wancher Red-Violet (Ebine)


Sailor Kenshin

Recommended Posts

Here is another sort-of pink ink that was generously donated by amberleadavis, famed Inky! En-Abe-Lawyer.

 

Wancher is a Japanese concern dealing in pens and inks since 1987. This particular ink comes in a rectangular plastic bottle and is my first experience with the brand.

 

With a heavier swab application, Evine can appear more burgundy. In the Kaweco lookalike Wing's 3007 it's more a soft, dusty pink. In contrast with De Atramentis Goat, Ebine seems a bit more dry going onto the paper, but not to the point of an unpleasant writing experience.

 

Not at all water-resistant ... dries quickly enough for southpaw use.

The chroma seems to show a single component, but...is that a teeny turquoise halo at the very edge?

It's perfect for spring.

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Love the flower.

Interesting that the ink has just the tiniest bit of another color.

I'd use this color in a mix.

Great review!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Am interested in the color.  Thanks for the review.

Why is it that some pictures show up in the new Fountainpennetwork, and some I see a filename.jpg?

It has to do with http versus httpS.  My old photos don't show up, but any new ones have been corrected.  

 

The ink color is a flat red-violet-fuschia.

Interesting color.  Wondering how it compares to Iroshizuku Yama-budo (which I was just using the other day, inaugurating the Dark Blue Decimo with a stub nib that I got for Christmas).

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Yama Budo seems more 'lively.'  It also has sheen!   Though I can't recall whether it has a gold or green sheen.

      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
