RV14 Begonia Pink

Let’s take a closer look at this Copic Marker and its ink characteristics.

Temperature: A warm medium magenta

Resemblance: Qjuinacridone Magenta watercolor

Actual Value: N6

All Copics are measured on a Neutral Gray value scale. The last number on the cap is supposed to indicate value but we’ve found discrepancies where the actual ink value is different than cap designation.

Cap Accuracy: Close. The plastic on a Sketch marker closely matches the color of 1-2 layers of RV14

Buildup: RV14 reaches maximum value at 3 coats

Shattering: Does not shatter.

Chromatography testing shows this ink’s behavior when it comes in contact with #0 Colorless Blender (solvent). High shattering colors may leak unexpected color when you make corrections or attempt to blend with any color that has a high solvent to colorant ratio. Shattering is not bad, it’s just something to be aware of.

Staining: RV14 is a staining color.

Lift: This ink will require quite a bit of effort to lift. The paper may remain pink underneath, even after correction.

See staining swatch. Sample was given 6 stripes of #0 Colorless Blender, drying between each stripe. Results indicate how much lifting you can expect.

Lightfast: Very mild fading. This color faded by less than 10%.

Samples were swatched on X-Press It Blending Card. 1 layer of ink was exposed to windowsill sunlight for 21 days. Approximately 10 hours of sun per day based on weather conditions. Note: we do not recommend displaying original Copic art under these conditions.

Natural Ink Family: RV14 is in the middle of the R-Teen family with RV19 at the dark end and RV10 at the lightest end.

Family Members: RV10, RV11, RV13, RV14, RV17, RV19

Understanding what an ink looks like in its different dilutions helps when creating your own blending combinations.
