Kon Peki Comparison

[senzen]

It took me a long time to find the right pen for Kon Peki (Platinum Cool, medium nib), I had not realized my expectations were different from reality, I really like it when it happens to come out lighter, closer to Ama Iro, but it always goes back to its true self, which is a medium green blue.

 

 

Row 1 of the other colours: Mandarin, Fuyu Gaki, Orange Indien, Ancient Copper, Rouge Hematite, Diamine Poppy Red, Perle Noire.

 

Row 2: Chiku Rin, Vert Empire, Verde Muschiato, Ina Ho, Inti, Yama Guri, Perle Noire.

 

Row 3: Ama Iro, Équinoxe 6, Souten, Tsuyu Kusa, Asa Gao, Lie de Thé, Verdigris.

 

Row 4: Fuyu Gaki x 4 (checking for consistency on a notorious evaporator Sonnet), Myosotis, Ajisai.

 

To me Chiku Rin is the inveterate fun ink, Fuyu Gaki is just wild; I just got Inti, it might give Chiku Rin a run for its money.

 

Note the left side of this pic is brighter than the right one, to give an idea of the effect of sunlight on this ink.

Hmmm.... I see more differences in the various kon pekis than I do in the 5 fuyu gakis

All my greenish blues are very temperamental, or to put it more precisely, vary wildly depending on the nib, how much the pen evaporates, the paper, the ambient temperature... In the case of Équinoxe 6, probably the alignment of the stars.

Great comparison! Thank you! I really appreciate your inclusion of Fuyi-Gaki for contrast. I think it really shows the depth of Kon-Peki. This comparisons are really great!
