Wancher Red-Violet (Ebine)

[Sailor Kenshin]

Here is another sort-of pink ink that was generously donated by amberleadavis, famed Inky! En-Abe-Lawyer.

 

Wancher is a Japanese concern dealing in pens and inks since 1987. This particular ink comes in a rectangular plastic bottle and is my first experience with the brand.

 

With a heavier swab application, Evine can appear more burgundy. In the Kaweco lookalike Wing's 3007 it's more a soft, dusty pink. In contrast with De Atramentis Goat, Ebine seems a bit more dry going onto the paper, but not to the point of an unpleasant writing experience.

 

Not at all water-resistant ... dries quickly enough for southpaw use.

The chroma seems to show a single component, but...is that a teeny turquoise halo at the very edge?

It's perfect for spring.

Pretty! Similar to Diamine Carnation, which I like a lot.

Love the flower.

Interesting that the ink has just the tiniest bit of another color.

I'd use this color in a mix.

Thank you for doing such a great review. I love the color.

Great review!

Am interested in the color.  Thanks for the review.

Why is it that some pictures show up in the new Fountainpennetwork, and some I see a filename.jpg?

It has to do with http versus httpS.  My old photos don't show up, but any new ones have been corrected.  

 

The ink color is a flat red-violet-fuschia.

Interesting color.  Wondering how it compares to Iroshizuku Yama-budo (which I was just using the other day, inaugurating the Dark Blue Decimo with a stub nib that I got for Christmas).

 Yes! Also J Herbin Rose Cyclamen and Noodlers Saguaro Wine.

Yama Budo seems more 'lively.'  It also has sheen!   Though I can't recall whether it has a gold or green sheen.
