Ink Review #2534: Papier Plume Peacock Blue
/Papier Plume Peacock Blue is from the Standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.
*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 has the tiniest little bit of pink sheen.
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:
Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 30 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: low shading, just a tiny bit of pink sheen, and no shimmer.
On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering in all nib sizes and some bleeding in the larger nib sizes.
Comparison Swabs:
Peacock Blue is closest to Anderillium Blue-Ringed Octopus. Click here to see the blue inks together.
Longer Writing:
I used a Leonardo Aloha with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.
Overall, this is a pretty turquoise blue, but there are a lot of blues out there in a similar color.
