Krishna Inks-Moonview

[Cursive Child]

Nice ink from Kerala, India. https://krishnainks.com/

Apologies for the poor handwriting, and wrong name in the review.

Thanks again, @Cursive Child!  I definitely like this one.  Staining is annoying, but irrelevant with the right pen.

I bought this one like 2 years ago and I haven't touched it. I will try to fill a pen with this ink this weekend. Thanks for the review!

I haven’t looked at Krishna inks before, so thank you for showing them. This Moonview has that shade of blue that I really like. I will definitely consider adding a few bottles to my next order.

Today, my upstairs neighbor; whom I set up with the basic fountain pen widths and flexes; just got back from India with the four Kirschna inks I wanted..

These 4 inks will be my first four sheen inks.

 

Paper Oxford Optic 90g.......a good economical paper. = to 90g Clairefontaine Velote`.

Using regular flex Pelikan 200's B nibs....not wetter semi-flex.

I thought a B would give me a decent width for   'to me' odd inks that might need a wider nib.

 

Moonview is a Dark blue with red sheen & some shading in B, 200-Amaythist ...have to check it out in M or F.

It's good to dig pens out of their Pelikan pen case.

 

I pulled out some Clairefontaine Triomphe  to check papers with.

 

On Triomphe paper the the Moonview 's red sheen is much less, the shading a tiny bit better...but not worth writing home about. I hadn't expected that.

 

I also did Night at Sea in B......and found for both inks, perhaps I should try a F and will do so with one of the two inks, Mumbai and Chennai sometime. I can always go up to M on the last ink. The ink is wetter than expected.

 

I'm new to sheen, paper makes a difference. I expected nib width to make a difference, so chose B. I will try F and probably M with the other two inks.

 

I've now got 9 pens inked, which is two over my limit....so got to get back down to limit before I ink those two Indian inks. I use to have 17 pens inked....and want only 5-7 so I can use up some ink.

Not sure how I missed this thread before now.  And I'm curious as to how the color of Moonview compares to other similar blues that lean slightly teal (particularly agains MB Leo Tolstoy).

I don't know what happened to the company, but Mumbai and Chennai didn't sheen nor shade. Mumbai had such a great review, of shading with sheen. Chennai had no review.

Ruth, Moonview does not lean teal at all. I know I'm not answering your question directly. The scan I posted is not showing accurately
