Ink Review #82: Nemosine Alpha Centauri

Nemosine Alpha Centauri is a gorgeous purple. Nemosine is still a pretty new brand to me, but so far they have been great. Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to the solar system. I used a sample for this review, but bottles are 35 ml. You can find samples here, or bottles at Goulet Pens.

The color...

Alpha centauri is a medium purple. 

I'm in love with the sheen this ink gives off in ink drops, I just wished it showed up more in writing as well. 

Dry time: Alpha Centauri dried completely in 30 seconds. 

Water resistance: The ink had medium water resistance.

Feathering: Alpha Centauri only feathered on Baron Fig paper, but did great on the other papers.

Show through: Alpha Centauri had low to medium show through on all of the papers.

Bleeding: Alpha Centauri only bled on Baron Fig paper, but did well on the other papers. 

Other properties: Alpha Centauri had low shading, and low sheen. 

Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (or top to bottom for RSS): Diamine Damson, Nemosine Alpha Centauri, and Sailor Jentle Shigure. Damson seems like it's the closest to Alpha Centauri. To see the Nemosine ink swabs together, click here. 

Krishna Sea and Storm, Diamine Eclipse, and Diamine Grape. To see all of the purple ink swabs together, click here. 

Longer writing:

I used a broad Pilot Vanishing Point Twilight on Tomoe River paper. There is a little bit of shading, but no sheen.

Overall, this ink is pretty well behaved. I really like the color.
