Ink Review #2096: Vinta Damili

/

Let’s take a look at Vinta Terracotta Damili from Series 3. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Damili is aa 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 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.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 60 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 the ink had just a little bit of feathering and a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Damili is a little lighter than Monteverde Fireopal. Click here to see the orange inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Lamy Safari Terracotta with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this ink was in the middle for me-interesting, but not a must-have. I could take it or leave it. It might be good for the fall and winter seasons.
