Ink Review #2802: Teranishi Guitar Opera Rose

/

Teranishi Opera Rose is from the Guitar collection. You can find this ink at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Opera Rose is an interesting color-it’s not pink, but not coral but not orange, it’s somewhere in-between all three.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

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 cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Opera Rose is a little more orange than Laban Aphrodite but not as orange as Taccia Pink Beige. Click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco-T Coral with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I find the color interesting. I love that it’s unique, I don’t have any other inks that are too similar to the color.
