Ink Review #475: Papier Plume House of the Rising Sun

It’s time to tackle some orange inks. Today’s orange is Papier Plume House of the Rising Sun, part of the New Orleans collection. The ink comes in 30ml bottles. I purchased my sample of ink from Vanness Pens.

The color:

Rising Sun is a medium orange, ranging from orange to red-orange.

Swabs:

In large swabs there isn’t a lot of shading, but the ink drops show a small halo of yellow around the edges.

Writing samples:

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

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was just a little bit of feathering, and some bleeding in all nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (top to bottom for mobile RSS): Papier Plume Heart of Gold, Papier Plume House of the Rising Sun, and Papier Plume Sazerac. Click here to see the Papier Plume inks together. Heart of Gold is darker and more red than Rising Sun, but both have the yellow halo.

Montblanc Lucky Orange, Montblanc Red Fox, and Robert Oster Orange Zest. Red Fox has more red in it than Rising Sun. Click here to see the orange inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a broad Kaweco Al-sport Rose Gold on an ivory Hippo Noto Notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it’s a lovely color for the fall, dark orange with some lovely shading.
