Colorverse Ink - The Mini Collection - 3 Pack - 5ml Fountain Pen Ink Bundle - Johanness Kepler Mini Set

The inks are stunning, they have a nice variation and the colors are true. I have been busily buying up the mini collections because I wanted to try them out. Gorgeous, smooth and easy to use in a variety of pens. I've used them in my Pilot's and my cheap knock offs and they are fabulous. Now if they are so good why did I give them a three star review...Because they smear so bad if they get any water or liquid near them. They are horrible don't matter how dry they are or anything. It's heartbreaking to see the words on the page smear to nothingness. If you are really careful and never spill anything near your work. The colors are great. If you are a person who has the occasional accident around your work steer clear. It has nothing to do with the product that I truly think is one of the best color carriers anywhere, but the smearing oy!!!Such heartbreak.

I’ve purchased two of these so far because I wanted to try the inks out prior to investing in larger bottles. They are expensive for the amount you get but the bottles are sweet and reusable for saving your own mixes in when finished. I consider these come from Korea and this would add to the cost of doing business with this brand but they are highly pigmented and beautiful in use. Some are not the best colors for writing so if this is your intended use, think about if they will or not be visible for this because some of the colors are quite light.My main gripe has been with not being able to mix and match the bottles as I wish and so sought out an online seller who sells these individually and will combine shipping so I can pick and choose better. This particular set was fine as it is though as I wanted to get red inks. The other pack I got was all blues with some purple so that was fine too and out of them I now know which of these I prefer.. Supernova! The other favorite I have is in the larger 30ml bottle called Stars & Stripes which has two types, with or without glitter. I enjoy the glitter one personally, but it takes more work to use as it must be stirred regularly. I use Moonman dropper pens as they make this easier. I also got the large bottle of Deep Purple which I’ve yet to put to use but I’m sure it’s going to be a favorite too. This ink is really art ink but I also use it in fountain pens. I consider these small bottles a treat I’ll only buy when I want to try them out but they aren’t something you’ll buy for daily use. When you find the one you love get the large bottle and save money as you’ll only get enough in these small ones to refill a Moonman dropper around 4 times. Still, 12 pen fills is fair enough to me for testing these inks out. As has been mentioned, you can get samples for less so shop around!

Extremely nice colors and the glitz in it is perfect for Holiday writing.Will I go for the larger bottles? I’m not sure as of yet. The glitter dives to the bottom of the bottle and must be frequently agitated to get suspended again.Plus, the neck on the sample is too narrow to dip a pen in. I sample inks with a dip pen because it’s quick and easy, especially the clean-up.Bottom line. Beautiful colors but takes a little extra care to use.

So cute & definitely "MINI." Granted, this 3-bottle collection has lovely packaging & cute statuesque "MINI-bottles." Now - I was smitten by design & what I can only describe as one of the more lively & distinctive "Blue's" that I have come across anywhere. As for the two other "earth-tones." In a word, "meh." Nonetheless, they are complimentary if not subdued earth tones that simply didn't work for me. To be on point, maybe the subtlety will grow on me. But I swear to you that these "earth-tones" literally made me want to nap. So I did. Love the dynamic "Blue." But don't need to get sleeping when writing! Glad I purchased? I am...oddly so. But now I have to nod-off for a nap.

The ink is fine, so look elsewhere for that review. For THIS product, $6.32 for each 5ml SAMPLE of ink is simple too much. You're paying for the packaging, not the ink, and there are much cheaper ways to get samples out there on the web. This ink is worth getting a 30ml (or more) bottle at THAT price, but these sets are WAY over-priced. Cheers - AA

I can't think of anything I don't like about these inks. Just the perfect size to sample, beautiful colors, smooth flow and they are so darn cute! Ordering the other trios for sure.

Very Nice. Thank You
