Thanks for watching it :-) The new bottle is really nice, and it's a lovely ink, I think. I do wish that the pigments involved had made it completely waterproof, but you can't have everything, I guess 😃
@@lithinm1998 Yes, that was one of the first things that I tested once I had the ink in hand :-) In this video, I only showed a couple of water drops on the writing sample, but before I made the video, I tried the ink on various different papers... spraying with water, submerging in water, under a running faucet... just to see what would remain. I did usually have a bit of a ghost image left, but not much. That's OK... there are plenty of good waterproof inks out there for when I need them.
Yes, it is absolutely safe for fountain pens. In fact, most pigment inks are safe for fountain pens, as long as you don't let the pigments dry out in the pen. In this case, though, the fact that the color is only 2% derived from dye means that it doesn't even have the same problems as standard pigment inks... but it doesn't have the benefits (waterproofness) either.
Hey Matthew. Great to hear from you after so long. Nice review. By that I mean I'm not going to get the Peacock. I love the bottle and the ink, but I've got tons of medium blues, like two bottles of Kon Peki and more from other brands. I am determined to not get more before I used up what I already have. I'd prefer the Kolkata coz I just superlove sheeners. Plus, Kolkata is the city I live in. So added bonus. I'd probably get that one. If I can ask you a quick question, if you don't mind: How does the Triomphe stack up against Tomoe River and Rhodia? I got a Clairefontaine Graf It, but realized later that it was for art not fountain pens. Rhodia is my go to. Should I give Triomphe a try? Again, nice to hear from you. Do consider reviewing more often. Thanks.
Clairefontaine Triomphe is pretty similar to Rhodia (and Clairefontaine makes the Rhodia paper, too), but the Triomphe is slightly heavier (I'd have to look it up, but I believe it's 90gsm vs 80gsm) and has a smoother surface. I get a little bit more sheen from Triomphe, and it may just be me, but my impression is that the Triomphe is a brighter, cleaner white... but overall, the difference is really minimal between unruled Rhodia and unruled Triomphe. I'll do what I can to make videos make videos more often. :-)
It’s really helpful to do comparisons with the inks; I really liked this peacock ink (the bottle is gorgeous)…then discovered from your swatching how close it is to my pilot iroshizuku kon peki! Haha…no wonder i like it!
Thanks :-) For what it's worth... the Peacock Blue appears to be very similar in the video (and it is similar), but it's actually significantly more "blue" than kon peki, especially after it's been dry for a day or two. If it's not my imagination, the hint of green in the ink seems to disappear with a little time.

That bottle is too CUTE! Another GREAT vide! I love all the details.
Thanks for this review! Love their new bottles and packaging.

@@thewetpen true, I asked them the same question as to if this ink is even mildly waterproof since it has pigments in it and they said it's not.

Thanks for reviewing the Krishna ink line up
Great video mate! Great comparison between the different inks that are already available. I am planning to get one
Hi, is it fountain pen friendly? Heard from many that pigmented inks will damage FP.

Great 👍.. Love from India 🇮🇳

Good one pal. Absolutely love the ink.
I want a rabbit shaped bottle for ink.
Maybe I'll 3DPrint one :D

I now use local printer ink with glycerine in my fountain pen. The only issue I face is somekind of deodorant nasty smell.
