Waterman Blue Obsession Ink Review<\/p><\/div>\n

Below are some of the characteristics about Waterman Blue Obsession Ink, which is a French made ink<\/a> product, that you may find useful:<\/p>\n

Testing Factors<\/h3>\n

A J. Herbin<\/a> Glass dip pen was used for this ink review with Rhodia Block N. 18 Paper.<\/p>\n

Bottle Sizes: Waterman Blue Obsession ink comes in a 50 ml. faceted bottle. The 9 sided faceted glass Waterman ink<\/a> bottle is unique to Waterman, which allows the user to use all sides to use those last few drops of ink. Pen Chalet carries a full selection of all Waterman ink products including bottle ink and cartridges and fountain pen ink converters.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/h3>\n

Waterman 50 ml. ink bottles, including the Blue Obsession, are reasonable priced at $11.00, which is a very good price for an imported ink made in France.<\/p>\n

Dry Time<\/h3>\n

Using the J. Herbin Glass dip pen, the dry time was a reasonable 4-5 seconds. Not superfast drying, but quick enough not to accidently smudge the writing after just a few seconds.<\/p>\n

Bleed Through<\/h3>\n

There is absolutely no bleed through, with the pen and paper used in this test, even with the 3 lined swab test. Thus super high marks should be given to this ink for its lack of bleed through.
\nFeathering: There was no feathering using the glass dip pen with the Rhodia paper<\/a> with normal writing. Feathering was clearly apparent during the water test (see below). With normal writing though clear, clean, distinct lines are visible with no feathering.<\/p>\n

Water Test<\/h3>\n

After approximately a 3 minute dry time, a wet cotton swab was ran over the ink samples. This ink is not waterproof and the test produced smearing, feathering and smudging occurred.<\/p>\n

Shading<\/h3>\n

There was some shading visible using this ink, especially with the cotton swabs. However, using the extra fine comparable dip pen, there was little visible shading.<\/p>\n

Conclusions about the Waterman Blue Obsession Ink<\/h3>\n

Great value, beautiful color, high quality imported ink. I personally enjoy blue ink and am happy to add the Waterman Blue Obesssion ink\u00a0color to my collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Waterman Blue Obsession Ink is newest color produced by the Waterman Pen Company.
