Ink Review #2743: Taccia Woody Brown

/

Let’s take a look at Taccia Woody Brown from the Sketch Ink collection. My sample of ink came from Vanness Pens.

The color:

Woody Brown is a medium warm-toned brown.

*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 has some shading.

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: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Woody Brown is closest to Robert Oster Aussie Brown. Click here to see the brown inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Lamy Al-star Bronze with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, this is a nice brown, but because it’s a sketch ink I was expecting high water resistance and this ink has low water resistance so I was a bit disappointed. I would use this ink as a general brown but not for any of its other properties.
