Ink Review #2053: Colorverse A Scorpii

Let’s take a look at Colorverse A Scorpii from the Colorverse Project Collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

A Scorpii is a medium coral pink.

*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 less coral, more straight pink.

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 blue shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

A Scorpii is a bit lighter than Diamine Pink Champagne. Click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used an Esterbrook Estie Pink Sands with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, I enjoyed the color but the flow is a bit dry for me.
