So, I noticed something odd the other day. I was writing in a notebook using my Asvine V126 with Diamine Writer’s Blood. When I came home I grabbed by V200 with Writer’s Blood to finish what I was writing, but the color / shading of the ink was very different. It was a lot darker and more saturated from the V200 vs the V126.

I compared the nibs under my loupe, but they seem to be mostly the same (ie, tines about the same width, no mis-alignment, etc.)

So, I decided to take things a step further and made the image in this message. Note both the Diamine Aurora Borealis and Writer’s Blood seem to have quite different characteristics.

(I should mention: all pens were recently cleaned, and all filled at the same time from the same bottle(s) of ink…)

Anyone have any thoughts on why this would be the case?
