Today’s ink is Private Reserve Cadillac Green from the Private Reserve standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

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: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: Low

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

Cadillac Green is similar to Scribo Verde Bosco. Click here to see the green inks together.

I used an Esterbrook Estie Oversize in Montana Sapphire with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I enjoyed the color, but there was a little more feathering than I like to see.
