Thornton's Luxury Goods Inks-Part 3

Let’s take a look at more Thornton’s Luxury Goods inks: green, turquoise, blue and purple.

Swabs:

Left to right: green, turquoise, blue and purple.

Writing samples:

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

Dry time:

The inks took 10-20 seconds to dry.

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: Medium

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low

Other properties: Low shading, low sheen and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was lots of feathering in the larger nib sizes as well as a bit of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Green is similar to Diamine Cool Green. Turquoise is similar to Robert Oster Blue Lagoon. Blue is darker than Sailor Ink Studio 443 but lighter than Monteverde Sapphire. Purple is a bit cooler than Monteverde Amethyst.

I used a Bond Travel Gear A5 notebook with Tomoe River paper. Pens I used: Conklin Durograph Forest Green-B, Lamy Al-star Pacific Blue-F, Pelikan M805 Vibrant Blue-B and Platinum 3776 Nice Lavande-B. The inks had average flows.

Overall, they dry faster than the average ink, but because of the fast dry time they sink into the page and feather a bit more than I like. You can find these inks on Thornton’s website or on Amazon.
