In large swabs on Tomoe River paper, Extreme Deep Field has some nice sheen.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 30-40 seconds

Water Resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: no shading, monster red sheen (both) and multi-colored shimmer (NGC).

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was lots of feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

In longer writing, Deep Field is closest to Organics Studio Emerson.

NGC is darker than J Herbin Emerald of Chivor but less green than Robert Oster Blue Velvet Storm.

Longer Writing:

Extreme Deep Field: I used a Franklin-Christoph 46 Blue Diamondcast with a broad nib on a Taroko Odyssey Notebook (Cosmo Air Light paper). The ink had an average flow.

NGC 1850: I used an Esterbrook Estie Oversize Peacock with a medium nib on a Taroko Odyssey Notebook (Cosmo Air Light paper). The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I enjoyed both of these inks. Both can be smeared if you try, but I didn’t notice any smearing in casual use. These are worth a try if you are looking for fun and interesting inks!
