This is the ink review after a long hiatus. I was occupied in lot of other activities and ink reviews couldn’t get my attention.

Dr. Sreekumar has been given lot of feedback for the inks from the local community and he has listened to many and therefore he has reformulated many inks like chocolate brown. His inks are now easily available in 30 ml bottles on eBay India under the brand name of KRISHNA.

These inks are sold on eBay India Page for Rs. 550 (8 USD) each for 5 Nos. 30 ml ink bottle plus shipping. Now they come in new glass bottles.

The inks that are being produced have now increased to 35 nos. and even certain names have changed.

The new names are as follows:

I would like to thank Dr. Sreekumar for sending me the samples and also for the effort that he has put in seeing the limited resources at his disposal.

This review is of Meadow Green which is a bright parrot green colour. The colour is nice and can be used as highlighter ink or some artistic work. I will not use it for writing though.

COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR COLOURS

CONCLUSION:

The colour reminds me of Diamine Meadow Green or Iroshizuku Chiku Rin. It has no feathering and has consistent flow. It is a beautiful bright colour ink which I am sure will gather attention of lot of buyers. This 30 ml bottle just costs less than Rs. 100.

Following are the summation of ink properties:

Feathering : No

No Sheen : No

: No Shading : Little

: Little Lubrication : Moderate

: Moderate Flow : Good

: Good Water Resistance : Bad

: Bad Drying Times : Bad

: Bad Nib Creep : No

: No Clogging : None

: None Odor : None

Feedback and Comments are welcome.
