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.

      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
