Ferris Wheel Press New York

Let’s take a look at the Ferris Wheel Press New York Collection. You can find these inks for sale at Vanness Pens.

Swabs:

Left to right: Lights on Broadway, Central Park and Grand Central Skies.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 20-80 seconds

Water Resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: All three had medium shading. Grand Central Skies had silver shimmer.

On Walmart Pen + Gear copy paper there was some feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Lights on Broadway is a little pinker than PenBBS First Love.

Central Park is a little less yellow than Robert Oster Australis Tea, but more yellow than Tono & Lims Kagawa.

Grand Central Skies is lighter than Tono & Lims Phosphophyllite.

All three had dry flows.

Overall, all are lovely colors but are too dry for me. Grand Central Skies is most readable in a broad nib, in smaller nibs it is a bit too light for me to easily read.
