Pennonia and Cult Pens have teamed up to create some exclusive inks! Let’s take a look at Regal Crimson, Ice Mint and Night Blue. Thanks to Cult Pens for sending these inks over for review!

Swabs:

Left to right: Regal Crimson, Ice Mint and Night Blue.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 40-60 seconds

Water Resistance: Low-Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: All 3 had medium shading and Night Blue had low red sheen.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Regal Crimson is less saturated than PenBBS Before the Break.

Ice Mint is close to Tono & Lims Akita.

Night Blue is a little lighter than Laban Artemis.

Longer Writing:

All 3 inks had an average flow.

Overall, Night Blue is my favorite out of the three. Ice Mint is a great color, but can be too light in smaller nib sizes so I would stick to medium and broad nibs.
