Sailor Hougado Pen Gallery Nodaiko Violet

This is an incredibly hard ink to photograph. Artificial light does not bring out the real color, and sunlight makes it something else really, but maybe because I was trying to take pics at 3:00 Pm and not early morning. Then you have the problem of ink appearing too pink when there isn't any pink in it. Nevertheless, I really like it. I was considering old burgundy again, but I don't regret inking this one up.

I'd suggest zooming in to see the real color of the ink. Another thing with this ink is, that it is extremely free flowing. I do all my ink reviews with the same pen, an Eyedropper filler with 6ml ink capacity. Usually I do not hear the ink sloshing inside (due to barrel being completely full of ink) until i write 8-9 pages with it. But with this ink, I am hearing the ink moving inside the barrel after ~4 pages. So it's going to get used up quickly.

Ooo, interesting. Looks like Scabiosa . . . but works

I am reminded of something my mom used to say when eating a decadent dessert, but in this case, I will relate it to our mutual avocation.

 

 

Whether it's about pens or inks, "what a way to go!"

 

 

Sure a part of me is being facetious, but I think it's the lesser part.

The ink is very paper dependent, that's what I have observed. If the review of Scabiosa by Penaddict is colour accurate, I'd say that this ink is somewhat close to Scabiosa on Graphilo paper. But if you shift to Tomoe River, it gives a very different colour which appears a little Burgundy-ish. I'll try to put up a writing sample on TR today or tomorrow.

 

Thank you for reading the review.

Yes, it's really interesting. Gives a different colour on different papers. Thank you for reading the review.
