Ink Review #2228: Private Reserve Avocado

/

Let’s take a look at Private Reserve Avocado. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Avocado is a medium evergreen.

*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 had some feathering.

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: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: Low

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had just a little bit of feathering and some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Avocado is brighter than these other green inks. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pilot Vanishing Point Bamboo Forest with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma Notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely green color but it does have some feathering.
