🤯Fast becoming my favorite ink. Used with Gravitas - Ultemate Vac ULTEM
Straight lines have a darker appearance and curves are more red.
ok, this Writer’s Blood is blowing my mind. I am so obsessed with watching the lines form as I am putting pen to page. Every line and letter is a blend of red and black. Somehow (magic? Voodo? Unholy promises? (Don’t let it be science)) the red and black inks do not blend. The appearance is a Red and Black line. Under 10x magnification it is 2 distinct colors. This is CRAZY!
After playing around with this ink a bit, I noticed the chamber behind the feed was running low and the reserve was not charging the way I expected, even with the back cracked open a bit. When the feed chamber ran low, the blended ink had a darker appearance with less red ink coming through the nib. I could play around with the vac feature of the pen and bleed the ink into the reserve chamber and then feed it back into the feed chamber. This is only possible to view with the clear ULTEM material the pen is crafted from. After a bit of writing, the lettering began to have a blended appearance again. Under 10x magnification, the red was still there, just more black ink was present.
It takes a while to get the ink to start to have the blended appearance again after setting the pen down for a few hours. Just get out a scrap paper and write a few lines to see the lines start to blend more efficiently.
I’m glad this is a large bottle and the pen writes wet, because it is a dopamine hit to write with this ink. I bought the Writer’s Blood on a lark. Gallows humor, It’s appealing. I completely underestimated how awesome this ink is. 5 stars barely rates this product sufficiently.
