Ink Review #2901: Colorverse No. 012 a Ori

Today’s ink is Colorverse a Ori from the Project collection. You can find this ink for sale at most pen retailers, including Vanness Pens.

The color:

a Ori is a bright red-orange.

*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 looks more red than on the Col-o-ring swab.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm, as well as on cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had feathering in all nib sizes and some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

a Ori is closest to Robert Oster Rust Orange. Click here to see the orange inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Transparent Orange with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, this is a nice ink. The color is bright and interesting and it performs well.
