Pennonia Inks Part 6

We have one more set of Pennonia inks to go over: Young Wine, Chestnut Brown, Sour Cherry, Devil Red and Cotton Candy. Thanks to Shigure Inks for sending these inks over for review!

Swabs:

Left to right: Chestnut Brown, Young Wine, Sour Cherry, Devil Red and Cotton Candy

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 30-50 seconds

Water Resistance: Low-Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no 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:

Chestnut Brown is lighter than Montblanc Toffee Brown.

Young Wine is similar to Montblanc Seasons Greetings.

Sour Cherry is a little lighter than Monteverde Napa Burgundy.

There are a lot of inks close to Devil Red including Monteverde Valentine Red.

Cotton Candy is a little darker than Birmingham Cranberry Nobel.

Longer Writing:

I used a Taroko Odyssey notebook, four of the inks had an average flow and Devil Red had a dry flow.

Overall, Young Wine is my favorite, I love the color and it’s well behaved. You can’t go wrong with any of these inks, but Devil Red is a little dry for me.
