Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Nemosine Solar Storm 1859

This is review #264 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:


Post-recording notes: This is a very nice burnt orange. It did form a little nib crud starting on day 4, but it wasn't enough to interfere with writing. Cleaning was quick and easy. The shading on this is so nice that were it available, I would highly recommend it despite the low lubrication. But, it's unobtainium, so you'll need to find another ink. Birmingham Pen Company have an ink called "Solar Storm" that looks very similar - but they told me it's not the same. They also told me their inks are mixable, so you can fine-tune the colors.

Zoomed in photo (Very close to what my eyes see.)


Screenshot (Close, but a little too dark.)


Scan of Completed Review (Also very close to what my eyes see.)


Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (Might exaggerate shading a little, but otherwise close. The ink is paler on these papers for some reason - perhaps my feed was running dry...)


Line width (One of the lines used for dry time. Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 308µm. With 264 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.)


Microscope image (100x. Spiky orange.)
