Ink Review #2856: Pennonia Napnyugta Sunset

/

Let’s take a look at Pennonia Napnyugta Sunset from the Standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers, my sample came from Vanness Pens.

The color:

Napnyugta Sunset is a medium orange.

*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 looks more red than on the Col-o-ring swab.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Napnyugta Sunset is lighter than Pilot Iroshizuku Yu-yake. Click here to see the orange inks together.

Longer Writing:

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

Overall, I thought this ink would be easily read because of how bright the swabs are, but in writing I found it a little too light. Other than that it’s well behaved and a nice color.
