This is a good ink and one I would consider high quality.
My only issue with it is not so much the ink itself but the color that was portrayed in it's advertising.
It show a heave look of red, which it is not. It is very dark blue with a potential for red sheen. It does have the red sheen when you angle your view. To me it is much like Organics Studio "Nitrogen."
But if you like that it would please you.

Shading! Sheening! Fun! Idiosycratic artisanal colors you won't find anywhere else, batch-specific. If you want this stuff to last... buy a bunch in one batch.

I ordered the Wild Cherry color. I love it so far. In some light it looks brownish and in other light it looks purplish. Nice shading. One of my favorite ink colors.

I love Krishna inks. They are vibrant with beautiful sheens, and they aren't as messy as some of the other heavy - sheen inks I've used. They work fairly well in pens, although I use them almost exclusively with dip pens. I haven't found a color yet that I don't love.

I have enjoyed all the various Krishna inks that I have ordered. They offer great colors with special properties that make them stand -out among other inks in their categories...like shimmers, sheens and shading. I only wish they offered them in larger bottles.

These inks are among my favorites. They are described as "super rich". Believe it. They are loaded with color! The only down side is it takes some work to clean out the pen, but these inks are worth the extra effort required in cleaning.

I am just getting started mixing my color (only two attempts so far). It would help if a color chart and some suggestive instructions were included. The ink seems decent and straight forward but not exceptionally color saturated. At the current price, this kit seems quite the bargain for anyone wanting to take a stab at producing unique ink colors.

Krishna Ink has become the only ink I use. All my pens handle them well and the beauty of such inks as Moonview, Jungle Volcano, and Christmas Eve can't be conveyed in words, you need to see them in use yourself.

Love that I finally found an ink that doesn’t run, smear or disappear in water.

Great inks! Especially the "sailor blue" and "after dark". Just wish they would make larger bottles. The ink miser is an excellent item to have around to use with these small bottles.

Krishna inks are all beautiful with sheens and shimmers reflected must more in flex nibs. Pink Brown is more brown than I anticipated but pretty nonetheless. Sea at night is one of the few that reflects a beautiful shimmer even in a fine nib.

It's a rather small bottle but I love the color. The ink flows very well.

Jungle Volcano and Sea at Night are both really pretty inks, especially with dip pens. Jungle Volcano is like a blend of orange, line green, and yellow - really pretty and Sea at Night is very similar to Organics Nitrogen (blue/pink sheen) but not as heavy. Bottles are a good size for grab-and-go. So far I've had good experiences even with fine nibs with the Krishna inks.

I'm really enjoying Jungle Volcano. The base color is a really bright orange with red/pink tones, and the heavy green sheen is amazing. It's very smooth, and between the smoothness, vivid color, and sheen, makes me think of Sailor inks, which I consider to be high praise. It's generating a small amount of nib crud, but that's an affliction many orange inks suffer.

I'm crazy about Krishna inks. They are free flowing so they shade and/or sheen very well. And the colors are slight deviations from the standard hues. I own seven now, and I wish I'd ordered them all from Pen Chalet since they have the best prices even w/o the discount or the free ink program. I recommend Jungle Volcano, Sakthy, and Vaikhari sheening properties. But yellow valley (yellow black) and Thulsi are great shading inks as well. They're hand made in small batches, really worth the $ in writing fun. The bottles are cute, but you may want to get a syringe for the easiest loading once you get toward the bottom.
