Colorverse Gluon/Photon ink set!


I bought these from the Hippo Noto website. They currently have a sale on Colorverse inks, so I bought a few. It's not boldly advertised, but right now they're cheaper than anywhere else.



I really wanted to try the “glistening” Gluon ink, so I opened up that bottle first and laid it down on a variety of different paper: The Hippo Noto cream colored book, a Rhodia pad, a Clairfontaine notebook, and some Apica.



The ink performed fairly consistently across all the paper types, with intense light and dark green shading, and a sort of peach colored glisten. It’s marketed as a “glistening” ink instead of shimmering, but you get the idea ;)



Written with a Waterman safety pen.



Tried to show the ink in natural indirect daylight, as well as under some desk lamps.



The stickers are pretty useful for labeling which Colorverse inks are in which pen. But feel free to use your imagination in their usage! :D




Here's the YouTube video of me writing in the Hippo Noto book with the ink:

I'll be reviewing the Colorverse Photon ink next. It's the one that's a packaged set with the Gluon ink. Then I have a couple more boxed sets I'll put up. ;)

 

I recommend buying it from the Hippo Noto website. It's $5 cheaper than anywhere else. It's definitely one of the smaller stores, but hey, they got Colorverse on sale! :D

This looks like something Tas and Cyber6 would enjoy.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

This ink, and the string and braine interest me a lot!

 

The string/brane set is AWESOME. I hate the tiny bottle and want a big bottle of brane now, but string in particular was the star. Great shading, it's like platinum citrus black.

 

The only issue I have with string is that it smears pretty badly in a wet flex nib.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
