Egoistar The Empty Space

[visvamitra]

Egoistar is korean producer of inks. I know little about the company. They oofer good variety of fountain pen friendly inks. Sadly, it seems that ordering these inks is quite difficult due to Korea customs urestricting shipemnt of liquids.

Fellow pen enthusiats from Poland managed to procure four bottles through family and shared samples witjh me. Didi - thanks a lot! It was fun to test these inks. Also, I have to say I really enjoyed these inks. As samples were small and I used them in very wet pens (my flock of Kawecos with broad and double broad nibs), I won't be able to claim that the inks are problem-free in long term use. In short-term writing, though, I was impressed.

The Empty Space can be described as fairly well saturated blue black ink. It feels just a little bit drier than Egoistar September Leaves and Cobalt Violet but it's still wet.
