Inkebara Part 2

Today’s inks are five Inkebara inks from the Standard and Soft Tones collections. You can find these inks for sale at Vanness Pens.

Swabs:

Left to right: Green, Highlands Green, Melissa, Sea Green and Pastel Violet.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 20-60 seconds

Water Resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: Low-medium shading.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Green is a little darker than Highlands Green.

Melissa is brighter than PenBBS Honeysuckle.

Sea Green is more grey than Kyo-no-oto Urahairo.

Pastel Violet is a lot lighter and less saturated than these other purples.

All had dry flows.

Overall, Highlands Green is my favorite out of the five just because I enjoy the color. Pastel Violet is my least favorite-it’s too pale to read easily.
