Informal Review Sailor x Tinterías Blue Corn

[amberleadavis]

Well really, it is just the start.

The color looks black - at first. It's a stealthy super dark purple.  I think it is well named.

Great! Amber, good to hear from you. Hope you are doing better and better -- everyday!!!

This ink looks good, too, because it is in fact, yes, my absolutely very most favorite color. Like I tried to demonstrate about 13 years ago with my own mix. The Witch is a good comp: just like Eclipse. Thusly your fine photography of the weird corn (which I also love, gastronomically speaking). Keep up the good work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice review @amberleadavis I think I prefer the purple corn more

Amber, great to see you do these again. And wow, that's a nice dark purple... as @lapissaid, maybe comparable to Ebony purple, which I happily have a bottle of, and just last week filled a pen with? (my Asa Athlete, in brown ebonite).

[amberleadavis]

I have more pages to scan and upload. It is a nice wet ink.  I know it is a limited edition.  You had to buy it with Agave which I will review next.  Right now the two bottle set is Tortillas and Chipolte.

Should look very nice in Safari Dark Lilac.

 

Thank you for the review!

Thank you @amberleadavis! This is a colour I would like quite a bit.

Fortunately, it is out of my comfort order range (whatever that is).

Interesting color.  Wondering now how it would look coming out of the music nib on the 1911S Wicked Witch....

ETA: And I say that as someone who generally does NOT go "matchy matchy" for inks and barrel colors....

I was on Dromgooles psych the other day and saw that sailor has another color which is really darn similar. I think I will add it to my next order and do a comparison of purple blacks. Though I will finish this review.

I think I can make that happen. Though it won't happen soon.

Okay, now for those of you who love Ink of the Witch (and I'm one). I tried using a q-tip to do comparisons. I tried @lapis' method of using an eyedropper to get the same amount of ink coverage. I don't know if I were successful.

 

 

I found the colors to be nearly identical, except in the swabs, Blue Corn was less saturated.

 

[amberleadavis]

However, when I did water washes, the color looked the same.

 

[amberleadavis]

I was going to ink my Ink of the Witch pen with the Ink of the Witch ink, but I already had a black Sailor cartridge installed so I didn't do it. BUT once the pen is empty, I'll make it happen.

I love the @lapis method. It shows the character of the ink
