Kobe Safari Inks
/This year Lamy released three pastel Safaris, so Kobe came out with three inks to match the pens. You can find these inks for sale at Vanness Pens.
Swabs:
Left to right: Light Rose, Spring Green and Aqua Sky.
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 seconds
Water Resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: All have low shading.
On Walmart Pen + Gear copy paper there was some feathering in every nib size and some bleeding.
Comparison Swabs:
Light Rose is closest to Monteverde Rose Pink.
Spring Green is a little bit paler than these other green inks.
Aqua Sky is closest to Sailor Yuki-akari.
Longer Writing:
All of the inks had average flows. I used a Taroko Enigma notebook.
Overall, Light Rose is a little too pale for me in writing, but I like the other two. All three flow well and are well behaved.
