This means I have some inks that are incredibly similar in color. And, because of that, I need to figure out which inks to keep and which to dispose of.\u00a0Sometimes, I have samples of two or more similar inks that I'm trying to decide which to buy, or if I should buy one ink when I already own a bottle of a similar one.<\/p><p>Enter ink battles. I put the similar inks into pens with the same nibs (two Jowo #6 M, two TWSBI F, etc.), or I create ink splats and doodles, to test them out to see which I like better. Or, I may find out that they\u2019re sufficiently different to keep.<\/p><p>You can assume I have no problems with any ink that appears in an ink battle. I may find, when using the inks side-by-side, that there are performance differences, but the point of the battle is to choose a favorite ink, a \"winner\". These choices are often subjective, and you may disagree with me.<\/p><p>An ink battle\u00a0\u2014 unlike\u00a0<a href=\"\/blog\/tag\/ink-dupes\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">ink dupes<\/a> \u2014 is between inks I like. I enjoy using them enough to have them in my \"for use\" ink collection \u2014 as opposed to my repository of inks for testing dupes. If an ink performed poorly or caused problems, I wouldn\u2019t keep it. And, if that were the case, an ink battle would be unnecessary.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Reminder: You can find all of the ink battle posts on <a href=\"\/blog\/tag\/ink-battle\/\">the tag page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve done my best to edit these photos to be true-to-life. However, because of the red base in Kitten Paws, I wasn&#8217;t entirely successful. If you want to judge the colors with an eye toward purchasing either \u2014 or both \u2014 refer to the fourth photo below, the one centered on the scribble section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>In my initial swatch tests \u2014 pre-battle \u2014 these two inks looked similar enough to consider dupes. The battle, of course, proves otherwise. While both inks are desaturated, Kitten Paws falls into the pink category, while 273 is a brown. They are about the same lightness, and exhibit roughly the same shading capabilities&#8230; not much.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"904\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?resize=904%2C1280&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Comparing Van Dieman's Kitten Paws and Sailor Ink Studio 273 by writing pangrams on adjacent lines.\" class=\"wp-image-13156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?resize=904%2C1280&amp;ssl=1 904w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?resize=212%2C300&amp;ssl=1 212w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?resize=106%2C150&amp;ssl=1 106w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?resize=768%2C1087&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?resize=1085%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1085w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?resize=1447%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1447w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_211206.jpg?w=1526&amp;ssl=1 1526w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Both inks also have some nice complexity in the water test.
