Ink Review #222: Troublemaker x Shigure Inks Blueberry

 

Today I will be reviewing a limited edition ink from Troublemaker x Shigure Inks. Shigure Inks is a company based in the United States. They have a large ink selection and carry Tono & Lims as well as Troublemaker inks. Blueberry is described as a dark blue with purple sheen.

Swabs: 

 

This is a rich medium blue with low shading and high red sheen. 

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had a surprisingly quick dry time at 20 seconds and no water resistance.

This was a wet, smooth ink. The color is close to real blueberries. I was slightly apprehensive about trying another intensely pigmented Troublemaker ink after my converter was stained from Doña Victorina. I’m happy to report that this ink does not stain! I also did not experience smearing which was a plus.

Overall: This is my first “intense sheener” ink and I’m looking forward to comparing it with other brands (such as Organic Studio Nitrogen). Overall, I really liked this ink and sheen.
