Pennonia Inks Part 3

Pennonia has a few different blue inks-today let’s take a look at five of them. Thanks to Shigure Inks for sending these inks over for review!

Swabs:

Left to right: Embroidery Blue, Blue Light, Csontvary’s Blue, Turkish Blue and Whoopie 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: 30-40 seconds

Water Resistance: Low-Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, low-high sheen (Blue Light has high pink sheen and Turkish Blue has low pink sheen) and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was a bit of feathering in every nib size as well as a little bit of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Embroidery Blue is a darker than Montblanc Tolstoy.

Csontvary’s Blue is less saturated than Taccia Indigo Jeans.

Blue Light is a bit darker than Diamine Florida Blue, Turkish Blue is a bit lighter than both of them.

Longer Writing:

I used a Taroko Odyssey notebook, the first four inks had an average flow, Whoopie Blue had a dry flow.

Overall, I enjoyed most of them. Whoopie Blue is a little too light for me in everyday use. Blue Light and Turkish Blue are my favorites out of the five. All of them perform well and are worth a try.
