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.

      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
