Fast drying ink - CARAN d'ACHE Chromatics Ultra Violet
Just passing this along. I took my CARAN d'ACHE Chromatics Ultra Violet bottle down from the shelf where it has sat dutifully albeit forlornly inside its hexagonal box for the past 4-5 years, and ink'd up a new PLATINUM Procyon with a <M> nib. I was very surprised to see it dry on Tomoe River Paper (original formula) in just a few seconds (easily <5). It was such a surprise that I thought I'd post about it just in case anyone was in the market for another fast drying ink.
Please check the web for writing samples as I'll not include one here. My take on the colour is that of a dusty purple - similar to J.HERBIN Poussiere de Lune. Also, the bottle is a lovely thing but should be used carefully as its a bit of a leaner. Cheers!
