Ink Review Colorverse Able & Miss Baker
/Colorverse Able and Miss Baker come together in a set, with a 65ml bottle of Able and a 15ml bottle of Miss Baker. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.
*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.
Swabs:
In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the inks have just a little bit of shading but no sheen.
Writing samples:
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.
*For my writing samples I use:
Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 20 seconds
Water resistance: Medium
Feathering: Low
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.
On 20 lb copy paper there is some feathering in the larger nib sizes but no bleeding.
Comparison Swabs:
Able is lighter than Colorverse VI Interstellar Space.
Miss Baker is similar to Rohrer & Klingner Sketch Vroni.
Longer writing:
I used a Franklin-Christoph 46 Green Diamondcast with a broad nib and a TWSBI Eco Pink with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The inks had average flows.
Overall, I enjoyed both of these inks. They are generally well behaved and fun colors.
