Ferris Wheel Press Golden Gate Glow is from the Dreaming in California collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

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

Swabs:

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: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

Golden Gate Glow is a bit more red than Van Dieman’s Tassie Salmon. Click here to see the orange inks together.

I used a Pelikan M600 Vibrant Orange with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, I like the color but the flow is too dry for me. It could benefit from a drop of ink additive like White Lightning.
