Regarding sulekha ink

[Harish N V]

I am wanting to order some sulekha inks. I have a combination of indian eye droppers and a pelikan, an omas and a pilot custom 74.

 

Since I have this range of pens, I want to get a sense of sulekha inks before buying. Can someone throw light on their flow properties, saturation etc. 

 

Can you also recommend some of your favorite Colorado from sulekha?

Sorry colors and not Colorado. Typing error

Someone shared a detailed review in FB earlier. You can read it here:

I think he has reviewed other Sulekha inks as well. You can browse the site and check it out.

I don't know as I do not have any nor have ever tried one, but from the linked review, it seems to me like it has some degree of outlining and a nice amount of shading. Let us know once you receive them what your impressions are (mybe write a review?). It seems like an interesting ink.

I have one Sulekha that I use, the samarpan Ma... It's kind of a blue black, but when dried, it becomes a cool grey in colour... It also has water resistance... I use it in my daily driver

Thank you for the photos and nice to know that it's a great daily ink

Sure. Will get back. But haven't still made up my mind regarding the purchase

Sulekha inks are hard to find in Southern parts of India, I wonder how their black inks perform in comparison with parker quink black

Iam hoping to order online. When I get the sample, I will post on this thread

Thank you, I look forward to your pictures when you get the samples.

I finally purchased the Sulekha Swadin in Blue and I quite like the ink. It sits with perfectly Gama Eye droppers that i have been using. Very usable and i did enjoy it. I will post pictures and more details a bit later.
