Colorverse Gravity Wave


lgsoltek

Recommended Posts

Gravity Wave is one of those popular “blue-green-teal and even better with red sheen” inks (so popular that Robert Oster now has 2834 inks in this colour range) that I’m really not fond of. Gravity Wave writes rather smooth with medium flow.

Comparison
(Maruman looseleaf. I looked everywhere in my stash of inks and samples and I couldn’t find another one blue-green to compare, except a sample of KWZI Menthol Green. And please ignore the Blackstone Blue Cypress. The sample has dried out in the vial and became too concentrated.)

Thanks for reminding me why I love this ink and am not sorry for splurging on it...

Boy, that is one sheen. The ink's name itself was a good choice.

was underwhelmed with this as a sample. I much prefer 3 oysters aqua blue. half the freakin' price.

LG you give great reviews!

Vis - I know you and I aren't buying this ink. :)

 

I know Colorverse inks appear to be expensive, but when you factor the two bottles and the actual ink volume, they are a much better buy than I had expected. I've inked up Super Nova from a sample and I purchased Quasar (blurple). I'll keep you informed but so far, so good.

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

I have Quasar also and I love it. It's not even so much the ink as the whole package. The names and physics themes were a big part of my enjoyment, but the ink itself is not bad, and I love me those bottles, and the tiny ones are so much fun.

      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..

      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
