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: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: All five had medium shading and medium sheen.

On Walmart Pen + Gear copy paper there was some feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Hana Gakoro and Zare Gakoro aren’t particularly close to any of these other blue blacks.

Kokoro Guma is closest to Taccia Sharaku-kurocha out of these brown inks.

Date Gakoro isn’t similar to any of these other blues-it’s more violet than they are.

Suki Gakoro is more brown than these other green inks.

All five inks had average flows.

Overall, these inks are super interesting-they are one color when wet and dry to a different color. Out of the five I think Zare Garoko is my favorite. All are well behaved with some nice shading and sheen.
