Ink Review #2865: Teranishi Guitar Classy Burgundy

/

Teranishi Classy Burgundy is from the Guitar Collection. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Classy Burgundy is a deep bordeaux red.

*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 pretty 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 on cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 15 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Classy Burgundy is closest to Diamine Cult Pens Deep Dark Red. Click here to see the red inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pelikan M205 Star Ruby with a fine nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I really enjoyed this ink. Yes, it does have some bleeding on Rhodia and Leuchtturm, but I still really like this ink. I loved it in the Pelikan 205-it made for a really smooth lovely combo. I’m planning to get a full bottle of this ink soon!
