Ink Review #2403: Pennonia Meseszep Fairy Tale

Pennonia Meseszep Fairy Tale is from the standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Meseszep is a lime green.

*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 some shading.

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: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Meseszep is brighter than Diamine Meadow. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Kaweco Al-sport Paladin with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, this is a good basic green with just a little bit of shading.
