Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Nemosine Pleiades Blue/Black

This is review #247 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:

Post-recording notes: Cleaning was easy with plain water, but did require a few extra flushes because the dye is quite concentrated.  The microscope smear was boring as can be with one blue and one black dye (apparently).

Errata: "the traveled" should be "they traveled".

Zoomed in photo (A bit too purple-leaning.)

Screenshot (Text is too dark and desaturated (more blue should show).)

Scan of Completed Review (This is the most accurate color.)

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (Both seem a little too purple to me.)

Line width (One of the lines used for dry time. Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 300µm. With 247 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.)

Previous Review: Lamy Turquoise.

Another excellent Tuesday review

What happened to the orange crud or the Earl?

I love the quote, so many times, I've seen people using quotes to prove their "erroneous" ideas right

Looking forward to next week! Onwards!

New to me and unobtainium.  What could go wrong?  🤣

 

Though I probably have a comparison ink, Diamine Denim…. No, wait, that's Chesterfield Denim.  
 

Does the Castle look like a Faber?  😉
 

Thanks once again, @LizEF, for making our Tuedays special.

In last week's episode, Quin escaped the orange field and the Earl was still on the other side of it (meaning he had not entered the field).  One is supposed to assume the Earl knows better than to enter said orange field - he would get crusted over. (So, the orange field saved them from the Earl, and with Makhabesh's help and Quin's failing enchantment, Quin escaped the orange field as well.)  Also last week, Essri directed us toward a "mount rising not far away", with Quin's dialog and behavior suggesting they needed to hurry toward said mount.  Thus, today's episode accomplishes his goal...  Now we must climb to the ruins atop the mountain, and then, presumably, descend to the Source.

  I expect half the "quotes" I've used were either wrong or misattributed.  (Most of these quotes - including this one - I just pull off the internet and don't bother trying to find out whether they're legit.)

Part of me says not to review the unobtainium ones, but they're labeled as such in the poll, and people still vote for them, so....

<goes to dictionary> Not from any definition I could find...

Thanks! Now I get so the orange was a blessing in disguise

Thank you @LizEF for the always entertaining ink review! 

I would buy this ink, but not for its colour, only for its name and if I would get a sine Nemo together with it!   

 

PS: Is the verde mountain close to the grappa? 😇

The location of Verde Mountain has yet to be revealed, but since Mount Grappa was described as "a lone mount", I guess Verde isn't too close.
