Colorverse<\/a>, a Korean company that began in 2017 (and started stepping out of the country a year after), has since become renowned worldwide for their fountain pen ink. They take inspiration from the universe \u2013 hence their motto of \u201ccolorize your universe\u201d \u2013 and science in general, along with other aspects of the natural world. Recently, they have begun expanding into other themes such as their \u201cOffice\u201d line and location-specific collections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s featured ink is the Colorverse USA Special Long Trail ink, inspired by the state of Vermont. Coloverse USA Special Long Trail is a very deep, teal-leaning green. I haven\u2019t been to this hiking trail before, so I cannot comment on how accurate a representation the ink is. At a glance, it\u2019s quite dark but with further study, you can catch glimpses of the base color behind a lovely mostly-red sheen. For a sheening ink, it had an average flow, though the pens had more resistance writing on Rhodia paper, so it wrote slightly drier on it. Though the water play on Strathmore paper didn\u2019t show much chromatography, if any, you can see a Spring-like green and blue that bled out on copy paper when water was introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Sort of Ink Bottle Does Colorverse Use for its USA Special Inks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The USA Special inks come in small, 15ml glass bottles in the trademark shape of most all of Colorverse ink bottles. The mouth to the bottle is a little on the small side, though. You wouldn\u2019t be able to dip a Col-o-Ring Dipper directly into the bottle without seriously bending it. It is packaged securely in a box that showcases the ink and what it\u2019s about. Colorverse Long Trail was released under the second set of inks in the USA Special series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
