Ink Review #2421: Ferris Wheel Press Cabernet on the Lake

/

Ferris Wheel Press Cabernet on the Lake is from the Woven Warmth collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Cabernet on the Lake is a medium cabernet red, just like it sounds.

*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 plenty of shimmer.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

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 the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Cabernet is lighter than Monarca Cardona. Click here to see the red inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Sailor Pro Gear Slim Red Supernova with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, I like the color and shimmer combo but the flow is too dry for me. I just wish it was a little wetter.
