Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: 3 Oysters I.COLOR.U Hangangmul

This is review #170 in my series.  Here's the YouTube video:

Post-recording notes: Cleaning was quick and easy. Alone, the color just looks dark blue or blue-black. Next to some of my other blue-blacks, it appears to lean slightly green, and the diluted color going down the sink supports that. The screen capture really doesn't seem to show any color, though if you zoom in, it's not too far off. The absorbent paper isn't too far off. The color in the scan seems too saturated (lacking black). The zoom is OK, but still a little off... Seems this is a hard color to capture...

The line width measurement is one of the lines used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 300µm, with ten divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 300µm. (For the curious, with 172 inks measured, the average line width is 291.9476744.)

The slide / smear wasn't very interesting, so I didn't include it. It shows a bit of granulation, and the color looks completely different from the writing.

Errata: "but chect the" should obviously be "but check the"...

And here is a screen of the final result, for those not interested in the video:

Great job Liz as usual

I like blue blacks their very calming.  Though I have enough. 

I finally got the bejewelled line. It's the paper fibres, hello. I'm feeling more and more like Quin today...

I'm not sure it's possible to have enough.

Thank you as always @LizEF

 

I think I'm safe from this one too! Which is good given how hard they are to get here

Poor, unloved ink!   But yes, very good that you don't want an ink that hard (or worse, impossible) to get - that's just the FP-user's version of torture.

 

Perhaps I'll try some of it in my relatively new Kaweco Sport - it's a fairly dry and fine writer (so dry time will be no worry) and they're almost the same color.

Slightly less than eternity?  Even though I like the color, I'll sit this one out.

 

Makhabesh has a good approach to problems.  

 

Thanks for another great review!

Shocking!

It does seem he's learned not to let what he knows get in the way of what he doesn't know.
