Ink Review: Color Traveler Wasanbon Oiri

Let’s take a look at three Color Traveler inks: Pastel Pink, Pastel Yellow and Pastel Green. You can purchase some Color Traveler inks from Shigure Inks.

Swabs:

Left to right: Pastel Pink, Pastel Yellow and Pastel Green.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 40 seconds

Water Resistance: Low-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:

Pastel Pink is a little cooler-toned than Tono & Lims Disturbing U.

Pastel Yellow is closest to Inkebara Yellow Fire.

Pastel Green is warmer than Ferris Wheel Press Central Park.

I used a Taroko Enigma notebook. All three inks had average flows.

Overall, I like Pastel Pink the best out of the three. It’s readable while still being a nice color. The other two are a little too light for me to comfortably read. I don’t know that I need a full bottle of any of them though.
