Sailor Jentle Ultra Marine Flex Art Review

Sailor Jentle Ultra Marine

 

This review might look different, because it is. I wanted a compact, informative way to organize my inks, so I put the information I want on these cards. I am an artist who loves to write with wet, flexible nibs, so I wanted to see how each ink behaved on the various papers I like and use, including the nasty paper at work.

 

I used an iPhone 4S to take and upload the photos. Color accuracy was not within my means to convey.

 

I have included the date and time I created the card, as well as the temperature and humidity.

 

There is a list of pens and paper used on the front of the card, down at the bottom.

 

Please see other reviews of this ink if you want to know about its waterproof qualities, lubrication, saturation, archival or fade/light resistance properties.

 

I was not concerned about bleed-through, smearing, or drying time. I did want to know how well the ink would wash with water, so you can see the two symbols for that, one using a wet paintbrush while the ink was still wet, the other using a wet paintbrush after the ink had thoroughly dried.

 

I wanted to have a large enough swatch to quickly see the color as it relates to other, similar colors, which is how I will sort the cards when I'm done. This swatch also shows shading and any sheen the ink exhibits.

 

Miscellaneous Comments: Purple with a blue undertone, gold sheen, and fast drying. Please don't snicker at my anchor!

That's a very nice review, I love your ink review format! Thank you very much.

 

This is one of the inks I have my eyes on, but sometimes the various reviews confuse me. Is it a bluish a purple or a purplish blue? How does it compare to Waterman Violet?

[Sinistral1]

I have not gotten to Waterman purple yet - when you see it, ask for the comparison again and I'll post them side-by-side.

How does this compare to Iroshizuku Ajisai?

 

Wait, found another review

...the pictures above make it look much more purple than blue.

See my post in the comparisons forum - Four Purple Inks. I'm working on using an actual digital camera instead of my iPhone to take my review photos, which will result in a truer color image - but - this is still a blue with a whole bunch of red in it.
