Ink Review #2734: Ferris Wheel Press Lores of the Loch

/

Today’s ink is Ferris Wheel Press Lores of the Loch from the Bestiary Series. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Lores of the Loch is a medium lime green with shimmer.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has lots of rose gold shimmer.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in all nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Lores of the Loch is closest to Robert Oster Green Lady. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Kaweco Sport Apple with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly dry flow.

Overall, I like the color, but I wouldn’t usually pair lime green with rose gold. It’s just not a great match in my mind. I would rather see silver shimmer with this green since I think it looks better. Other than that it’s pretty well behaved, but a little dry.
