Krishna Inks: Monsoon Sky

[smruthib]

A full review of the ink with more pictures can be found on my blog: https://fountainpensandstationery.home.blog/2021/05/09/krishna-monsoon-sky/

 

This ink is a beautiful Prussian blue, with hints of purple sheen. This shades well, with a tiny purple sheen on the edges and no shimmering.

 

It writes wet with my Ranga Giant 9B stub nib, and dries slowly. 

 

This is my favourite Krishna Ink yet. The colour coupled with the way it writes has made its way into my heart.

 

On the backside the ink blot bled through on my 68gsm tomoe river endless recorder notebook, but the writing did not, however there was some ghosting.

 

Highly recommend this ink, and can't wait to test out my other Krishnas for review.

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like it. 

This reminds me of Emerald of Chivor!

Keep up the good job

Thanks @yazeh!

This one sheens nowhere close to emerald of chivor. For the most part its a saturated teal colour.

I love Monsoon Sky, and use it a lot, but like many Krishna inks, I found it very dry until I added a bit of flow aid. 

 

Thank you for reviewing!

Thanks for the review!  I really like the darker spots in your pictures - sort of reminds me of Colorverse Ham #65 - a color I really like.

Thanks for this review. It is my understanding that there is more than one version of this ink, i.e. v2, v3 etc.

That to me is sad as adds confussion but it is what it is.

Perhaps changing formulation to keep improving it. Although the stores don't show any version in the details about the ink. 

 

Wasn't aware of this, thank you.

I've not seen any differences in Monsoon Sky - though some (like Moon View and Jungle Volcano definitely have a couple of - which are clearly named.  My most recent bottle of Monsoon sky is no different to my last one, which was one of the first Krishna inks I bought.
