Ink Review #2264: Colorverse A And

Today’s ink is Colorverse A And from the Colorverse Project collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

A And is a medium grey-blue.

*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 ink shades from grey to blue.

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:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had just a little bit of feathering and a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

A And is a little lighter than Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun. Click here to see the grey inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pelikan M605 White Silver with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, the ink is a little too pale and dry for me. I wish it was a little darker and a little wetter.
