Hi Smruthi,

Thanks for writing review.

1. We are just 6 months old in making fountain pen ink.

2. Thanks for the reviews and feed back. We will keep up the pace and will improve our quality of the ink.

3. Regarding your disappointment in Torquiose Blue -

We can prepare another color variant. If u tell us RAL color code we can customize ink.

4. For the orders above Rs.1000/- only we can enable free shipping.

5. Regarding Brown, Orange, yellow, Black Ink & Vermilion Colors - we are continuously doing research to improve the existing quality.

6. Our Ink is not waterproof. We are in research to make it waterproof.

7. Regarding drying of ink, we will try to make it quicker between 1 sec to 2 secs.

Again, we welcome your feedback and will keep on improving.

Thanks,

Kovai Chandru.

 

 

Hello all.

 

This is my review for the penhouse.in inks. Attached below are the swatches of violet (above), and turquoise (below). The paper I have used is the Thought Slot dotted inserts which are readily available on amazon.in. The pen I have used is the Camlin KOKUYO Trinity, which I also got from penhouse.in. The turquoise ones show some amount of feathering on the paper, while the violet does not have the issue.

 

The ink takes about 3 seconds to dry. It is not waterproof. This isn't available in cartridges, but the ink comes in plastic bottles, and costs about Rs. 30, or ~$0.5.

 

The turquoise was kind of disappointing, it seems to be more of a bright blue than a greenish blue shade that I was expecting. The violet is bright and lovely, and writing with it seems like a charm.

Hi, apologize for the delay. Life caught up to me. I had a really disappointing experience mixing the two inks, it turned to be a dull, unsaturated light purple/blue. I did not bother taking pictures as it just didn't come out as expected. Would not recommend.

 

Bummer.

can you share brown colour ink writing if you have

I ran into some bad luck with the brown ink, where it stained the ink windows(TBH also stained the plastic bottle it came in) of my camlin 47 and clogged up the feed. I tried filtering the ink with a filter paper to get rid of any particulate but it still clogged up my feed.Other than that it's a pretty thin scented ink with a desaturated brown colour, the colour can be a little hard to read with a dry writing pen. I would go for a different colour, maybe one which has a non stained bottle in the product pictures would be safe.
