10 Inks Waterproof Test

[tgoto]

Hi guys-

 

I have decided to do a water proof test using the inks I have.

Not that I own many inks, but here are the images of before and after.

The inks were submerged under water for 30 seconds.

 

The inks used were:

- Noodler's Navajo Turquoise

- Diamine Sepia

- Iroshizuku Murasaki-Shikibu

- Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrun

- Iroshizuku Tsukushi

- Private Reserve Daphne Blue

- Montblanc Burgundy Red

- Diamine Claret

- Montblanc Jazz Blue

- Waterman Inspired Blue

 

After the test, Tsukushi was the most legible ink.

Navajo Turquoise, Sepia and Murasaki-Shikibu were equally somewhat legible.

Burgundy Red, Claret and Jazz Blue were barely legible.

All other inks were not legible at all.

 

Hopefully this test is somewhat helpful to you

Thank you for sharing the results of your test.

Thank you.

Will this now influence your choice of ink or was the test one of pure curiosity?

I will use the inks that withstood water more at least for planchecking construction documents, but I will still use all of them for normal (mainly note-taking) use.

Thanks for sharing! I can never get enough water resistance tests.

I was surprised by Diamine Sepia. It's so light on paper that I would never have expected it to survive a spill.
