Levenger's Smokey


Okami

Recommended Posts

This is a nice gray, however I could not get it to scan true to color. It is a good solid gray however it is not as dark as the scan appears - however, this is the best that I could do.

Good review! Thanks for scanning and posting it.

You didn't mention bad paper. Have you tried it on bad paper?

I try not to write on bad paper - :ltcapd:

 

The worst I could find it 20 lb copy paper and it does not feather or bleed through.

 

I hope this helps.

Yes, many manufacturers' 20-pound copy paper (sorry, I don't have time right now to look up the metric equivalent) fits the fountain-pen definition of "bad paper." I'm glad to hear this ink does well on that stuff! I'm also glad you have such control over the paper you must write and mark on :)

Looks like a wonderful color of ink! I went to Levenger and they apparently don't carry this color anymore since I it is not listed on their site. I called their number and the woman seemed a little clueless. Anyone have some they want to get rid of let me know.

Just inked up my True Writer with this one, and nobody seems to have mentioned its rather remarkable water resistance!? As in: you put water on your dry writing and the only thing that happens is that your paper gets wet.

Looks like a winner.

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

I am actually considering buying the set of 6 Levenger inks that includes this color but I wasn't sure if they were good or not(I'm rather new to FPs). This has made my mind up thanks :)

I am pretty sure Smokey Grey is not available. If you found that set in eBay.. then go for it.

 

You can only find Greystoke at Levenger's website.
