Colorverse Permanent Navy

Plumix Stub on Rhodia

 

I believe this is the first review of the ink 

 

Flow: moderate, not too wet nor too dry

 

Shading: yes

 

Bleed/Feather: none

 

Saturation: medium

 

Color: light blue black

 

Water Resistance: excellent (water test coming soon)

 

Notes: well-behaved office/professional ink for cheap paper (part of the "office" Colorverse line). Comes only in the 30ml bottle, so more accessible than the strange large and small bottle pairings from other Colorverse inks.

Thanks. I'm not sure if I like this. It looks quite washed out....

Thanks for the review!  This is one I want to test myself.

This is one of the few Colorverse inks I have (I like the occasional permanentish dye ink) and mine is a lot darker than I'm seeing on screen. Could be my monitor, or perhaps scanner settings?

Here is the water resistance test. It appears to be virtually waterproof. I think the ink might be on the dry side, so it may appear lighter in a drier writer. 

 

I do like this ink, so I may consider purchasing a full bottle.

Does it look that washed out to the naked eye? Looks diluted. Or is it the scanner playing tricks? Thanks.

Could you post an image?  

[mizgeorge]

Of course. I just have to find either the pen I have it already in or the bottle, which won't happen before tomorrow (given the time here now!)

Couldn't find the pen, but found the bottle and just inked up the first thing that came to hand from the 'clean' pot. On a scan, it's not actually as different as I expected - though I usually use it in a wetter pen than a Pilot. I think the closest match I have to it would be kyo no oto aionibi (which of course is really dry). I might see what it's like with a photograph instead.

 

The fast drying time and water resistance make this an ink I like a lot, along with the grey from the same series. 

 

 

And here's a quick and dirty phone shot - which (forgive the awful lighting) is much closer to how it actually looks IMO - I think it might just be one of those that doesn't like being scanned!

Aonibi is a true lovely colour..... funny how I never found it dry

There is no need to apologize!  Your contribution is sure to help some readers decide whether they want to get samples to test for themselves.

The photograph from your phone is useful, thanks- some inks really don't like being scanned!

I've found that this is a nice color, but isn't very saturated.  From a dry pen, it seems faded.  From a wet pen, it looks great.
