I’ve enjoyed a lot of the Pennonia inks I’ve tried lately-Poison Green being my current favorite, so let’s try out another five! Thanks to Shigure Inks for sending these inks over for review!

Swabs:

Left to right: Fox Friend, Copper, Wasp, Apple Green and Greenfinch.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry Time: 20-50 seconds

Water Resistance: Low-Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low-medium shading, no sheen and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was a bit of feathering in every nib size as well as a little bit of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Copper is closest to Birmingham Salmon hors d’oeuvre.

I used a Taroko Odyssey notebook. Apple Green and Copper were dry, the others were average. The pens I used are written in the previous photo.

Overall, Fox Friend and Wasp are my favorites out of the five (Poison Green is still my favorite Pennonia ink though). Both Fox Friend and Wasp would be great for the summer season. Copper and Apple Green are a little light for everyday use, but would be great for art.
