Ink Review #1814: Ferris Wheel Press Edwards Gardens

We are continuing on with the teal theme with Ferris Wheel Press Edwards Gardens. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Edwards Gardens is a deep teal with red sheen and gold 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 a pretty red sheen. My sample doesn’t have much shimmer, but I think the bottles have much more.

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:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, high red sheen, and gold shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper there is some feathering in all nib sizes as well as a bit of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Edwards Gardens is lighter than Colorverse NGC 1850 but darker than J Herbin Emerald of Chivor. Click here to see the teal inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Leonardo Figboot with a medium nib on an Odyssey notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely ink, pretty and well behaved.
