Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.
Dry Time: 60 seconds
Water Resistance: Medium
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: All three had low shading.
On Walmart Pen + Gear copy paper there was some feathering and bleeding in all nib sizes.
Comparison Swabs:
Sea Eel Rice Beige is closest to Ferris Wheel Press Cream of Earl Grey.
Light Brown is similar to Diamine Brandy Snap.
Scarlet is similar to Diamine Passion Red.
I used a Taroko Enigma notebook. All three inks had average flows.
Overall, I like Light Brown the best-it’s such a pretty color, perfect for the fall season. Sea Eel Rice Beige is a little light for me.
