Ink Review #81: Nemosine Solar Storm 1859

Today's ink is Nemosine Solar Storm 1859. You can find samples of this ink here, or bottles here at Goulet Pens. Bottles are 35 ml of ink.

The color...

Solar Storm is a bright orange. Seasonally, I would use this ink in the summer.

The large swab doesn't show any sheen or shading, so I would call this a classic orange.

Even in ink drops, this ink doesn't show much shading.

Dry time: Solar Storm dried in 22 seconds (in a medium nib on Rhodia).

Water resistance: Solar Storm is not water resistant. 

Feathering: Solar Storm only feathered on Baron Fig paper, but did great on the other papers.

Show through: Solar Storm had medium show through on all of the papers.

Bleeding: Solar Storm only bled on Baron Fig paper, but did well on the other papers.

Other properties: Solar Storm doesn't have any sheen or shading. 

Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (or top to bottom for RSS): Montblanc Lucky Orange, Nemosine Solar Storm 1859, and Diamine Blaze Orange. I think Blaze Orange is the closest to Solar Storm. To see the Nemosine swabs together, click here. 

Papier Plume Sazerac, Sailor Jentle Apricot, and Diamine Orange. To see all of the orange swabs together, click here. 

Longer writing:

I used a Pilot 912 FA on Tomoe River paper. 

Overall, this ink is pretty well-behaved and has an average dry time. I would recommend this as a classic orange ink, since it lacks shading or sheen.
