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.

Attaching a more complete ink review here

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....

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
