Wancher Ebine Violet

[visvamitra]

Wancher is a brand offered by Engeika in his shop. First five inks were introduced few years ago and names as a Silk Road series.

 

Packaging

The inks come in few kind of bottles. The one I have is a simple, cheaply looking 100 ml bottle. It's not bas as long as tehre's more than half of it. When the ink level decreases it becomes harder to fill a converter pen - the neck is too long and when you want to insert nib and feed into ink you'll have to make your hands disrty. Also some converters and nib/feed assemblies are simply too short for this bottle.

 

Ebine Violet is fun ink. It's not violet. It;s not pink. It's somewhere in between. It's not as saturated as R&K Solferino but it's definitely not subdued. The ink can cause feathering and bleedthrough. It's quite wet and I would say it's decent ink.

Thank you Vis for this review.

 

Too pink, for me.

It is a very pretty color. To my limited experience it is an unusual color for ink. Vis is correct in that it is a "fun" ink.

I think for the price, it is a nice and as Vis says, "fun" ink.

This is a pink I can definitely see myself using. But I've read mixed reviews of ordering stuff from Engeika....

Thanks for the review. And not.
