Ink Review #535: 3 Oysters Mustard

Our next 3 Oysters inks today is Mustard from the Delicious collection. Thanks to Pen Chalet for sending a sample over for review. This ink would be great in the fall, it fits in well with the fall leaves.

The color:

Mustard is just that-mustard yellow.

Swabs:

In large swabs the ink has some nice shading.

Writing samples:

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

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was feathering in all nib sizes and some bleeding in the flex nib.

Comparison Swabs:

Mustard is closest to Bungubox Ebisu Gold. Click here to see the 3 Oysters inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a broad Kaweco Al-sport Rose Gold on a Midori MD Notebook. The ink had a dry flow, but did not have any skipping issues in this pen.

Overall, I really like the color, but then again I rather enjoy dark yellow inks. The flow is a bit drier than I like, but other than that it’s well behaved. I prefer Bungubox Ebisu Gold over this one, but it is much more affordable than Bungubox inks.
