Colorverse Quasar

(another sheeny blue)

Colorverse Quasar is yet another one of those heavily saturated blues with strong sheen. It flows well, writes quite smooth, has a red-goldish sheen especially on Tomoe River. It's relatively easy to clean out of a pen. However there's nothing original about it. I feel like there have been tons of such sheeny blues on the market lately. At that price you're just buying the fancy packaging and the high concept. I know I sound rather harsh towards Colorverse inks, but to me when you charge a premium price for a product I have to judge it accordingly with higher standards.

Wow. In the drawdown it looks quite a vibrant, rich blue, more so than the others which which you compare it.

 

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review.

 

Indeed it's a very intense colour.

I bought one Colorverse Ink, some blue I can't even remember now and was super disappointed. This one, however, looks rich and wonderful and distinct. Maybe I'd get a sample, maybe.

Updated for a couple more swabs.

I reckon it is similar to Krishna Moonview.

Looks like a pretty good Parker Penman Saphire substitute
