Ink Review- Krishna Writer's Night


Arijit

Recommended Posts

Writer's Night is an ink I have been using since the second half of 2017. As an every day use ink, I recently got two bottles from Dr. Sreekumar, the proprietor of Krishna Inks, and so am writing a review of this excellent ink.

Just like all standard Krishna inks, this ink comes in 20 and 30 ml bottles.

Having used this ink for almost a year, I found it remarkably well-behaved. No staining of acrylic, no blocked feeds and very easy to wash. No shimmer, no sheen, little shading and little feathering and bleedthrough if your paper is over 80 GSM.

It is a formal purple, but the colour is not too subdued. You can read pages of this ink without it being an eyesore too.

Recommended for people who want a nice purple ink for everyday use, and are bored with pages after dreary pages of royal blue.

Thanks for the review. I picked up a sample of this at the Baltimore-Washington Pen Show in March, but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Suspect that when I do I will really like the color....

      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.
