Colorverse Gravity Wave

Recommended Posts

Now I know I'm hooked. This review is of Colorverse Gravity Wave. This is the 4th ink I've bought from these guys. They are $36 a piece so I must like em. Attached you can see pictures of all the extra stuff you get with the ink. I think the themes that the ink center around are the most fun. Gravity Wave is part of the Astrophysics series from season 2. There are 8 colors in total. I have attached a picture of all the other colors. The brochure gives you surface tension of the ink as well as the ph and even a RGB formula... presumably to be used to recreate the color with computer software? The ink itself is very well behaved and doesn't bleed or feather at all. I used both Rhodia and HP 32lb paper in this review and there was no bleed through and no show through with the ink. I have been using this color for a little while and have never had any hard starts with it. All in all its a great ink. Its a little pricey, but it really is fun getting a real bottle and a "mini me" bottle to go with it. I hope you enjoy the review. I would love to hear what everyone thinks.

Nice review. I think I might like it (the ink) because its tealishness is turquoisy enough.

Not a color for me, but thanks for the review. Seeing reviews of inks I *don't* want is better for my wallet....

Great review! I also love Colorverse Inks, although their habit in some of their kits of including a smaller bottle of a very different color does annoy me sometimes (especially when it's a color I really like). The same color kits, or the ones like the Hayabusa where it's regular/shimmer are great though!

Another color I've tried from this brand and found thoroughly badly behaved.

 

I really do not like colorverse. Which is a shame, because I am a complete sucker for space themed stuff.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
