I started by creating a color chart of all 47 inks. The chart is on Rhodia DotPad paper, was scanned in, and I did my best to adjust for color balance. Next I devoted a Clairefontaine notebook to testing the inks. For each ink I used a Platinum Preppy 0.3mm, dipped into the ink vial. I tried scanning the pages, but the color balance wasn't working to my satisfaction. So I took photos, and included the 4 Sharpie Markers so that Photoshop's Auto-Level adjustment had some context to make a proper color adjustment.

Sinistral1 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I hope some day to grow up and be a real ink reviewer like you! Excellent job and clearly hours of effort. Thank you. Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive. Link to post Share on other sites
