*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, as well as cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, tiny bronze sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had feathering in all nib sizes and some bleeding.

Notturno Viola is a little more blue than Robert Oster Charcoal. Click here to see the purple inks together.

I used a Pilot Vanishing Point Twilight with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly dry flow.

Overall, I like the color and the little bit of shading but the flow is too dry for me.
