on saleColorverse Gravity Wave - Ink Sample

Interesting teal color that stands out on the page.

This ink is a great shader, and it is still work appropriate. I think this ink is in my top 5!

love the color and it seems to work ok with the All American by Conkin pen

I use this in my TWSBI Diamond 580, with a fine nib and with a 1.1mm stub. It is definitely my favorite ink out of the fine nib - the ink takes a bit longer than usual to dry, but has strong teal to (essentially) black shading, and is precise. It works best on higher quality paper (ex. Rhodia). But it's definitely my favorite ink so far - unique in its color, shading, viscosity and usability. It works well out of the Stub nib too, but the color isn't quite as potent and it doesn't dry the same (though it still has very heavy shading).

I have a pretty large collection of teal & blue ink samples. Colorverse Gravity Wave immediately became my favorite. It's so saturated, and it really pops off the page. It makes all of my other teal inks look pale and washed out by comparison. I do think Colorverse inks are super overpriced. The sample price is okay (thanks Goulets! :) ), but I'd much rather have the option to buy a single bottle of ink, rather than the weird brand thing of getting two different bottle sizes in 1 package. It seems so gimmicky, which is why I'd avoided trying Colorverse inks. But I love this color so much that I ordered the bottles before I even wrote my pen dry. It makes my soul sing. It's pretty on Rhodia, but for max shading and sheen, one has to use it on Tomoe River. But that's par for the course. It does dry pretty slowly. I seem to have a knack for smudging it. Still the color makes up for it.
