Dark Orchid - Seitz-Kreuznach

[visvamitra]

Seitz-Kreuznach is a german based ebay seller. Some time ago he/they came up with their own line of inks. The inks have great value and are offered in cartridges and bottles (0,68 fl oz).

There are few colors in the line:

1. Arctic Blue
2. Chestnut
3. Dark Orchid
4. Flamingo Pink
5. Navy
6. Neon Yellow
7. Pacific Blue
8. Palm Green
9. Panthers Black
10. Tomato red

Dark Orchid isn't that dark. I don't like the color but the ink is quite decent (no feathering, no bleedthrough, reasonable drying time, good flow),

Thank you Cyber6 for sending me samples of these inks.

I have a bottle of this and love it. I currently have it in my Reform piston filler, and it performs very well. It's quite a cheerful color.

I didn't think I liked this one, but it's kind of growing on me.

I wouldn't have expected to like this either, but it really does look like a color found in nature, unlike many inks in this range.

Interesting color. I'd be curious as to how it looks in a side-by-side with J Herbin Rose Tendresse (an ink I thought I'd like but there's a lavender undertone to the pink that I don't quite care for).

Thanks for the review.

Now this is a great review and a great color . . . For marking up a legal document, say. Thanks again for a great review.

 

BTW, who sells this stuff?

Do you think it looks like Murasaki-shikibu?

I have this ink and I like it very much.

I have both inks, and it is really not even close to Murasaki-shikibu in color.
