Ink Test: Colorverse - Astrophysics

[@cherylthomae-barnes7852]

Love the Goulet Astronaut at the end, cute!

[@Gouletpens]

I know, he's my favorite part! Hope he makes future cameos. - Colin

[@curiosity9678]

Is it just me or does he kinda look like Brian ? ( ps : man that redshift looks amazing )

[@idipbananasintocoffee]

Make him a part of the next MondayMatchupGiveaway!

[@DanRossGraphics]

Does the Goulet astronaut come with the ink? ;)

[@randy-9842]

Absolutely loved the Goulet Astronaut! Please let Brian or Drew interview him on the next "Write Now" -- or, at the very least, give him a Cameo Appearance on the next "Write Now."

[@sentient.ball.of.stardust]

Ok whomever was involved in creating and filming this video needs a pay rise! This is way above fp community content quality and i have no words to say how much i love it and the direction you guys are taking with this channel! Write on!

[@Gouletpens]

Thanks so much for that feedback! This is all Andi our videographer, really bringing something new each video. - Colin

[@foxxx040]

That was a marvelous video. Kudos to the creator.

[@idipbananasintocoffee]

Every new video blows me away! You guys even put a Lego minifigure in!!! KUDOS!

[@janepilecki8083]

What a great way to show off the inks!!! Fabulous video!!!

[@42istheanswer23]

That video was amazing. You need to give those creators a serious pay raise. The video does justice to the beauty of the inks.

[@DanielSpielmann]

You outdid yourself with this one. What a cute video.

[@tonypeng5937]

These look amazing! I WANT THEM ALLLLLL

[@pantalonious3984]

Can’t believe i hadn’t seen this until now. Loved this so much!!

[@frankbruno7122]

Excellent concept!! Really stunning video, and a solid promotional pull; I'm blown away! Frank from Boulder, Colorado

[@padraigb580]

Videos like this covering whole lines of inks would be cool (maybe I've missed them?) Nice to see all of them in one vid.

[@Gouletpens]

It's easier when inks have 'series' like Colorverse has. We've also done it with Diamine Shimmertastic inks in the past as they get released in batches: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJnTfHiJbraEaJY & kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4uVZKdmosmras0 - Colin

[@dannydontgoin237]

I love these videos! What a spectacular collection of inks!

[@yawninggreyhound]

This is one of those inks I bought for the name, well, actually for the graphic on the label, the SOS!!!!! is just so darn cute!

[@ReticentSparrow]

+1 for Colorverse. Currently rocking Gravity Wave in my Stargazer.

[@Selinaisonlyme]

I was just on the website looking at these inks yesterday! I'm happy to see some swatches and I look forward to a review of the inks, especially andromeda! This video is fantastic and is super creative!

[@Gouletpens]

Andromeda is actually the first ink review we're doing, should be out in a couple weeks! - Colin

[@jammeydodger8897]

Please do more of these kinds of video, it's really nice to see the hole collection!!!

[@Gouletpens]

Hoping to have some more thorough ink reviews on a few of these in the coming weeks (blog.gouletpens.com/ink-review-index ), but here's a quick look at the Colorverse Astrophysics series! Have your eye on any of these? - Colin

[@1GiGi1]

That's Brian as an astronaut....Lego Brian!

[@ooyoobbang]

The ink looks wonderful!!!

[@Keallei]

These colors are so delicious! They're my favorites. I just want to drink them up! But you know, not really. But yes really!

[@KristiGay1973]

Lerv. Give these ladies a raise!

[@liliana1lfr]

A blast-off of color!

[@carolreville2192]

awesome vid! colors are super cool!

[@PuckerFactor10]

Now that is a great video!!!!

[@artdiva36]

Gravity Wave looks amazing! I haven't had a Goulet order in a while, but I might have to see what else is on my wish list and cave in.

[@DrStealthbug]

Okay you guys win. I want all of these.

[@Gouletpens]

At the very least, an ink sample package set is something to consider! (www.gouletpens.com/ink-sample-package-colorverse-astrophysics/p/ISP-CV-Astrophysics ) - Colin

[@Rialagma]

These are lovely! As a physics student, I want them all! Especially for the names. Too bad they're too expensive for me atm T-T

[@paulcaskey]

This was neat!

[@Yzabell0M]

This is super cool!

[@John-bz3wr]

These look like really great inks, but I can't justify the price sadly

[@Gouletpens]

Fair enough, definitely on the premium side. Be sure to grab a sample or two at least if you can! - Colin

[@x-changex-outx-oner8224]

The Goulet Pen Company Just a thought. Even though they are "pricey" inks, you may want to mention to people that in your online store category; press, "Special....then scroll down to "Package Deals" there is a set of Colorverse inks (Voyager 1) for $50.00 for 4 bottles. So people looking for a better deal have an option to look for...or at least make people aware of alternatives in your store category to look for a better deal, though the selection may be limited. Just my 2 cents.

[@owenhughes2911]

This video didn't quite show off just how much of a sheen monster these inks are. Andromeda is 50% burgundy, 50% gold sheen if you use it on Rhodia paper!

[@Gouletpens]

Yeah, it's tough with the shooting angles, but Andromeda for sure is a heavy one. Quasar as well when I've used it. - Colin

[@colubridlady]

Yeah, kinda disappointed that they didn't tip the paper after each drawing to show off the full nature of these inks. I'd like to try them, but this video didn't really help me decide what to try.

[@colubridlady]

The Goulet Pen Company Can you suggest to Brian to do a quick episode about them (aside from the one he and Rachel did with the unboxing) to show what they look like after they dry?

[@metoonunyabidness1391]

I just learned that Neil Degrasse Tyson (an astrophysicist) is also a fountain pen nerd

[@Gouletpens]

Absolutely! Check out David Parker's interview with him if haven't yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpC1epuilLp5ibM - Colin

[@metoonunyabidness1391]

The Goulet Pen Company I'll definitely check it out, thanks!

[@metoonunyabidness1391]

Supreme Leader Spock Why would you say that?

[@metoonunyabidness1391]

Supreme Leader Spock Everyone is entitled to their opinion… Even you While I am not necessarily a NDT fanboy His expertise should have no bearing on any other opinion he holds and as far as I'm aware, he's been a fan of fountain pens for decades

[@dari.j.farris]

Supreme Leader Spock I'm so confused where's is this negativity coming from? This is a video about inks and Op was simply making a observation why what's the point of your replies?

[@uqox]

Andromeda 16 is FANTASTIC looking. I've been looking for the right red ink for my Luxury PENBBS 309-7SF, "demonstrator" fountain pen, and I believe I've found my match! Once again Goulet gets my money!

[@Gouletpens]

Either Andromeda or Redshift would be perfect inks to pair with that. - Colin

[@uqox]

Yes, they are both quite beautiful, but (and I know this is perfectly silly to say) I found Redshift to be that disturbing shade of red I associate we being "too" red, like...you know...oogie stuff.

[@furbybuddy]

I want these for my physics classes

[@hannaclutterbuck-cook5595]

Okay, well, now I want all of them! >_

[@Vanadse]

Pretty. But it is unlikely I will ever see them in person during my lifetime. We got to be thankful that we get Parker and Waterman inks at all in this country. And only in blue and black. Gravity, Dark Energy and Black Hole are very attractive.

[@davidlay7423]

I love the GPC Astronaut with the flag! Edit: Whoops! Someone already commented that!

[@DeependraSinghRajawat]

Thanks for the Reply Colin. Had one more question. Never saw any videos on Jinhao Bottled inks. I am only asking because I purchased one today myself. but found No online presence of same.

[@Gouletpens]

Hmmm, I'm not aware of any Jinhao bottled ink, but I have seen cartridges. It's possible that's not set up in all of their distribution channels, could be region specific. - Colin

[@JHaettich]

Cool video!

[@lorilpn046]

Hey there! Are you guys going to show the new Twsbi? It's being released tmw. Will it be for sale on Goulet pens tmw?? Thanks

[@Gouletpens]

It will be on-sale tomorrow (not sure of the exact time!), not sure if Brian was planning on showing off the Precision in Write Now, but probably will for Q&A on Friday. - Colin

[@lorilpn046]

The Goulet Pen Company Hi Colin! Thanks so much! I was just hoping to see it before I decide to purchase it tmw. A little on the fence about it. Lol :) Thanks again❤️🖋

[@DeependraSinghRajawat]

Sir How do you store all your ink bottles. i am afraid to keep more than one or two or I might break them accidentally. i have shelves and they are glass bottles, and i would not want to break them accidentally. Plz Reply

[@Gouletpens]

Keeping them in bins in their original boxes can help add some durability. Placing them in drawers is a good idea too as they can't really fall from that. If you're looking to proudly display them, I think that's the inherent risk with that. - Colin

[@LauraJayne64]

Ok how did she load that much in the dip pen??

[@aadityakiran_s]

So this is what the Goulet pen company is now huh!

[@luisbeltran1530]

I kinda hate the existance of Goulet pens because I have always wanted to order stuff from them, but their international shipping is too expensive. Now they have a new line of inks which I can't get. Cheaper shipping rates to Mexico please!

[@vampireguy2967]

Redshift made me laugh 😂

[@andrenugget455]

use a paint brush?

[@Gouletpens]

Just q-tips! - Colin

[@randy-9842]

Call me un-inventive on this one. I hadn't considered using q-tips. Ingenious and Talented. I would have gone FAR outside the line with a blunt-tip q-tip!

[@kailan121]

Andre Nugget It may not seem efficient but it’s the safest method instead of possibly contaminating ink bottles by reusing paint brushes. Using a new brush each time would end up more expensive than using q tips.

[@lvcsslacker]

are these sheening?

[@Gouletpens]

Yes, the Astrophysics series really focuses on sheening. Andromeda is a big one. I've had some big sheen from Quasar & Supernova. Can't wait to try the rest! - Colin

[@lvcsslacker]

I'm trying not to scream. I may need these...

[@JoeTehGiant]

These inks mystify me. They're nice, but I don't understand why there's so expensive, especially for a brand that hasn't yet cemented itself in the fountain pen community as a lasting, good quality brand.

[@Gouletpens]

Bottling, packaging, and shipping all play a big part with fountain pen ink. Each of those are at a premium with Colorverse inks. That might not justify the cost for some, but the ink itself seems to be pretty high quality too in my experience. - Colin

[@JoeTehGiant]

Oh I'm sorry if I came across rude! To me, one of (if not the) endgame brands is Montblanc, and with that name carries a long-standing assurance of utmost quality and perfection, whilst a relatively new brand is charging about double that per ml. I'm not bashing you (I promise), and it's probably due to my own highly subjective opinion, but I can't comprehend what is better than best.

[@Gouletpens]

Oh, I didn't mean to come off defensive either, just giving some context! You do get a lot of ink for the $36 (80ml), but price isn't always indicative of quality. Pilot Iroshizuku is some of the best well-behaved and vibrant inks for under $20. Diamine has a massive variety of colors with good properties for under $10! At the end of the day, it is very subjective, so it's whatever works best for your pen and writing style. - Colin

[@JoeTehGiant]

Oh wow, they're a lot cheaper in USA! Here in the UK, I can only find one vendor, and that's £45 - perhaps it's time to move across the pond 😂 Thanks for all your replies and showcasing all the inks, brilliant job as always ❤️

[@caseylasalle]

I need, not want, them... ;)
