Ink Review #2694: Ferris Wheel Press Billowing Blush

/

Ferris Wheel Press Billowing Blush is from the Beauty and the Beast Collection. You can find this ink at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Billowing Blush is a pale blush pink.

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

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 cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and green and gold shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and a tiny bit of bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Billowing Blush is right in-between Tono & Lims Burma Tourmaline and Wearingeul Daddy Long Legs. Click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Diplomat Aero in Antique Rose with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly dry flow.

Overall, I’m in the middle on this ink. I like the color and the green and gold shimmer is interesting, but the flow is rather dry and it can be hard to read in the smaller nib sizes.
