Ink Review #2838: Colorverse a Psc

/

We are taking a look at Colorverse inks this week, starting with Colorverse a Psc. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

a Psc is an unsaturated sagey green.

*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 has some 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, as well as on cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

a Psc is more yellow than Kyo-no-oto Urahairo, but not as yellow as Color Traveler Kazusanosuke. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Kaweco Sport Sage with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, I love the idea of the color, but it’s a bit too light in writing for me to easily read it. It’s also too dry for me to write for long sessions comfortably.
