Colorverse Gluon Ink Amateur Review


digitalbrush

Recommended Posts

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)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
