Ink Review #266: Graf von Faber-Castell Electric Pink

This week is reader request week! First we are going to look at Graf von Faber-Castell Electric Pink. I purchased my sample of ink from Anderson Pens. 

The color:

Electric Pink is a bright medium pink.

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

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None.

Other properties: Medium shading, no sheen, and no shimmer. 

On 20 pound copy paper there was a little bit of feathering but other than that the ink behaved well.

Longer writing: 

I used a broad Pilot Vanishing Point Crimson Sunrise on Tomoe River paper. The ink had an average flow. There were some hard starts and skipping.

Overall, I like the color and the shading. I did have some issues with skipping and hard starts but other than that it's well behaved. Give it a try, you might love it.
