Starry Ink - Narwhal Tail
Starry Ink Narwhal Tail - Ink drop
Narwhal Tail is from Starry Ink’s Mood Tail series. Inks in this series are multichromatic and change color based on temperature and humidity. Narwhal Tail blends light blue, pink, and violet, and there is a vial of silver shimmer to add as you wish.
Ink Swatches on Cosmo Air Light and Tomoe River
Most of my swatch images show the base ink on the left and with shimmer added on the right. The long writing sample on CAL paper is without shimmer, while other letterings are with shimmer added.
Ink Swatches on Iroful and Bank papers
The most common base color result for me was a pretty, light sky blue with hints of pink and violet. At times, the base was much more violet with pinks and blues developing within strokes. It’s a very beautiful ink, and the color-changing properties and color blends are very interesting and quite nice.
Writing sample on Cosmo Air Snow paper
In all but one example, writing performance was excellent. There were some odd eruptions on the Iroful swatch lettering, but that was the only occasion. I think it was a one-time event, and had no problems at all, otherwise. As you see, the long writing sample on CAL paper is perfect, and that was my normal experience. The ink flows well with or without the shimmer, and strokes were consistent and clean.
