PenBBS Season 28 Part 1

Let’s take a look at four inks from PenBBS Season 28. My inks came from Vanness Pens, but they are no longer carrying PenBBS, so I’m unsure where you can find some.

Swabs:

Left to right: 393 Midniight, 394 Break, 395 Morning and 396 Before the Break.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 30-40 seconds

Water Resistance: Low-Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: All four inks had low shading.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Midnight is similar to Wearingeul Henry Jekyll. Before the Break is lighter and less saturated than Midnight.

Break is lighter than Kyo-no-oto Aonibi.

Morning is lighter than Taccia Grey Jeans.

All the inks had an average flow.

Overall, Midnight is my favorite out of the four and Morning is my least favorite (it’s way too pale).
