Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 15-20 seconds

Water Resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: Low-medium shading and Cloud Gate has gold shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Cloud Gate is similar to Diamine Snow Storm except for its gold shimmer instead of silver.

Carolina on my Mind is close to Birmingham Glassmith.

Irish Channel is lighter than Pure Pens Glens of Antrim.

All three inks had an average flow.

Overall, Carolina on my Mind is my favorite out of the three but I enjoyed all of them.
