Ink Review #2729: Teranishi Guitar Lady Emerald

/

Today’s ink is Teranishi Guitar Lady Emerald. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens. Thanks to the reader who sent this ink in for review!

The color:

Lady Emerald is a medium emerald green.

*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 sheen.

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: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: There’s some bleeding in the flex nib and swab on Rhodia, but I think that’s due to a flaw in the paper rather than the ink. I’ve had this happen with most inks on this most recent batch of paper.

Other properties: medium shading, medium pink sheen, and no shimmer.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Lady Emerald is closest to Waterman Harmonious Green in tone, but it is much darker. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Leonardo Momento Magico Smeraldo with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I love the color of this ink! It has some nice shading and sheen and flows well. I really enjoyed using it.
