Tom and I were messing around with some inks and decided to test
how waterproof they were.
Two tests were done: one using
Rhodia Dot paper (left) the other using standard (Vietnamese) notebook paper (right).
Notice that with some inks the
colors are better retained on the cheaper paper. This is because they absorb
deeper into the fibers.
The colors in the order that we presented them (fairly randomly I should add) are:
Noodler's (Bulletproof) Black
Sailor Nano Black
Mont Blanc Permanent Grey
Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (new formula)
Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (old formula)
Generic Blue (cartridge)
Sailor Gentle Grenade
Sailor Sei-Boku
Private Reserve Ebony Green
Visconti Blue
Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki
Sailor Nano Black
Mont Blanc Permanent Grey
Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (new formula)
Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (old formula)
Generic Blue (cartridge)
Sailor Gentle Grenade
Sailor Sei-Boku
Private Reserve Ebony Green
Visconti Blue
Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki
How we tested: ran water over
inks until colors stopped running. Let them sit submerged in water for a
minute.
We have many more inks to show you all and you
should expect some extensive reviews in the future as well as some tests like
this one.
We hoped this helped,
