Ink Review #1844: Scribo Arancio di Sicilia

Today’s ink is Scribo Arancio di Sicilia. This ink is available in square 90ml bottles. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Arancio di Sicilia is a bright red-orange.

*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 looks flatter, less vibrant.

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:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On 20 lb copy paper there is a little bit of feathering and bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Arancio di Sicilia is a little bit darker than Nemosine Solar Storm. Click here to see the orange inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Lamy Safari Mango with a medium nib on a Taroko Breeze notebook. The ink had a slightly dry flow.

Overall, this is a lovely ink. It’s well-behaved and a nice color-perfect for the summer.
