Ink Review #1338: Taccia Burgundy

Taccia Corinth Pink is from the Lip Color collection. This ink was more popular earlier this year, but now I can’t find it in stock anywhere.

The color:

Burgundy is a medium magenta pink.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks less saturated than it does on the col-o-ring swab.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 15 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: Low

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low

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

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering and bleeding in all nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Most of these inks are close, but none are an exact match. Click here to see the Taccia inks together, and click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Pink with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, while I enjoy this color, there are a lot of inks in similar colors that are better behaved than this one. I would probably use Diamine Claret or Pilot Irozhizuku Tsutsuji rather than this one.
