Ink Review #2618: Ferris Wheel Press Majestic Maple Syrup
/Today’s ink is Ferris Wheel Press Majestic Maple Syrup from the Woven Warmth collection. My sample came from Vanness Pens, but you can find it at a few different retailers.
*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 lots of champagne 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:
Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 30 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and champagne shimmer.
On 20 lb copy paper the ink did pretty well, just a little bit of feathering and bleeding in the flex nib.
Comparison Swabs:
Majestic Maple Syrup is lighter than Ferris Wheel Press Workshop Wishes. Click here to see the brown inks together.
Longer Writing:
I used a Pelikan M200 Gold Marbled with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.
Overall, I love the color but it can be too light in smaller and drier nibs. I wish it had a wetter flow but I still love the color.
