This is the eighth part of my Sailor Ink Studio swatch tests. The swatch cards shown are part of a lovely range of Oranges and Pinks. These are bright! And I mean bright, with the first six colours revealing some striking chromatic behaviour I have not witnessed before.

Sailor 230 - A heavy rich bright orange pink that creeps down the card when added to a wetted surface. A pronounced acid yellow is in evidence at the outer edges and in spite of the ink density, bleach works very well, turning neon white.

 

Sailor 730 - A heavy rich bright orange pink that creeps down the card when added to a wetted surface and very similar to 230. An acid yellow is in evidence at the outer edges but due to the ink density the bleach has a negligible effect.

 

Sailor 773 - A rich bright orange that easily blends with a wetted surface. An acid yellow with light pinks are in evidence at the outer edges and bleach works very well revealing a solid gold.

Sailor 473 - A rich bright orange that easily blends with a wetted surface. An acid yellow with light oranges are in evidence at the outer edges and bleach works very well, turning neon white.

 

Sailor 173 - This is the lighter version of the 773 and 473. It's very delicate blending easily with a wetted surface. An acid yellow with light pinks are in evidence at the outer edges and bleach works very well, turning neon white.

 

Sailor 130 - A light dusty pink that easily blends with a wetted surface. An acid yellow is in evidence at the outer edges and bleach works very well revealing a neon white.

Sailor 731 - A heavy bright pink that creeps down the card when added to a wetted surface. Light pinks in evidence at the outer edges and in spite of the ink density bleach still works turning neon gold.

 

Sailor 431 - A medium bright pink that blends easily with a wetted surface. Light pinks in evidence at the outer edges and in spite of the ink density bleach still works turning neon gold.

 

Sailor 131 - A light bright pink that blends easily with a wetted surface. Light pinks are in evidence at the outer edges and bleach works very well revealing a neon white.

 

All tests on Bockingford Rough 200lb watercolour paper with handwriting using a Noodler's Creeper pen.

      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
