Colorverse inks seem to have just shown up to the scene. They are from South Korea and are a little pricey, but my experience so far is very good. The colors are very vibrant and seem to be pretty well behaved so far. What follows is my ink review of Colorverse Quasar, which is one of my favorite colors.... burple. I absolutely LOVE burples of all shapes and sizes. I hope you enjoy the review. I'd love to hear what everyone thinks.

Thank you for the review, this is a nice ink, but as you mentioned, pricey.

I also like burples very much (as opposed to mostly disliking teal leaning inks).

Which other burples would you recommend? my favourite is Diamine Bilberry, and I usually stay away from Noodlers (too saturated and generally not easy to find here in EU)

Thanks for the review! I do love this ink. I zeroed in on it from all of the Colorverse colors. It looks a lot like another ink I really love, Parker Penman Blue. It seems to be much better behaved however.

I have the mini bottle of this ink in a trade.

 

thoroughly unimpressed for the price. It's not great behaved, it smears a bit, it's more purple than blue, overall just so meh on it for the monstrous amount of money they ask.

 

if it was $10-12 for 50mL, I'd have much nicer things to say, but it's an ultra premium ink at that price, and the performance doesn't matc.

I really enjoy Colorverse inks, although I dislike their practice of putting in small bottles of differing colors. Great review, and Quasar is a really nice color.

      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
