Ink Review #1753: Colorverse Anita

Colorverse Anita comes in a 15ml bottle in a set along with a 65ml bottle of Arabella (which I reviewed separately). You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Anita is a dark pink-brown.

*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 brown in spots than 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: 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 there is some feathering in the larger nib sizes but no bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Anita is closest to Robert Oster Australis Rose. Click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Kaweco Sport Frosted Pink with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it behaves well, but I’m not in love with the color so it’s not a great ink for me.
