*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 quite a bit of shimmer.

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: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had just a little bit of feathering and a few dots of bleeding.

Sparkle Fairy is closest to Van Dieman’s Hastings Caves. Click here to see the yellow inks together.

I used a Kaweco Al-sport Red with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, this is a really interesting color combo with the green shimmer. I didn’t have any clogging issues.
