Ink Review #2544: Ferris Wheel Press Radiant Rosewing
/Ferris Wheel Press Radiant Rosewing is from The Wild Swans 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:
In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has pink 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: Medium
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and a little bit of bleeding in the larger nib sizes.
Comparison Swabs:
Radiant Rosewing is a little cooler toned than Wearingeul Juliet, but a little warmer than De Atramentis Pink Rose Gold. Click here to see the pink inks together.
Longer Writing:
I used a TWSBI Eco-T Coral with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.
Overall, this ink is very dry. I kinda hated writing with it just because it was soooo dry.
