Let’s take a look at Colorverse 41 Albert and 42 V2 Rocket. You can find these inks for sale at Vanness Pens.

Swabs:

Left to right: Albert and V2 Rocket.

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper Albert has some shading.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 15-20 seconds

Water Resistance: Medium

Feathering: Low

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: Albert had medium shading and V2 Rocket had low shading.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was lots of feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.

Albert is more yellow than Blackstone Lemur Lime.

V2 Rocket is closest to Diplomat Orange.

Both inks had an average flow.

Overall, Albert is a little too bright and yellow for me. I prefer V2 Rocket.
