Today’s ink is Papier Plume Oyster Grey. You can find this ink at Papier Plume’s website or Vanness Pens. Thanks to the reader who sent this ink in for review!

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks very dark.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Oyster Grey is closest to Birmingham Oxidized Brass. Click here to see the grey inks together.

I used a Pilot Custom 823 Smoke with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, this is a good solid dark grey ink. It’s dark enough to be easily read and well behaved.
