I'm not sure who makes inks for Levenger, but I must confess I enjoy them quite a lot. I've tried some of them and all were intense and intriguing. Pomegrenade is really stunning ink that I enjoy a lot. I've receivea a sample from one of FPNers and I'm hooked. Good stuff.

It's a timely coincidence that you posted this review. A friend is sending me a bottle from the US. I want to compare it to BungBox Sweet Potato Purple.

Excellent well saturated red ink. One of my favorites. I've always found Levinger's ink to be quite well behaved and enjoy using them.

 

Thanks for taking the time to review the Levinger Inks.

Does anyone know how it compares to Oku-yama? They seam as though they would be similar. This is really lovely. My favourite colour family for inks.

The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.

Pommegranate is one of the best Levenger colors (and I like a lot of their colors)... I just did a quick comparison to Bungbox SPP and Okuyama. BBSPP has more red.

 

 

Vis.. thanks so much for another amazing review!!!...

Thanks for offering this observation about BBSPP comparison. It was a BB ink I had wanted to try & then the whole Sailor supply for the US went berserk! And strangely I have weaned myself from that obsession & discovered others to try. But I am grateful to have had the opportunity to experience the BB's I did purchase when the "getting was good" ( & prices more reasonable!) I will just have to content myself with my BbspY & Levenger Pomegranate.

Visvamitra, would you mind sharing what pen and nib combination you use for your ink reviews. I am always interested in how much shading you get.

Thanks

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
