Tono & Lims Adult Night Inks Part 2

Tono & Lims has added a couple of new inks to their Adult Night Special Edition collection: Coffee: Emerald Mountain and Afternoon Tea. Coffee is scented, but I didn’t notice any fragrance to the other. Thanks to Shigure Inks for sending samples over for review!

Swabs:

Left to right: Coffee: Emerald Mountain and Afternoon Tea.

Writing samples:

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

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was lots of feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Coffee is a little bit cooler in tone than Diamine Espresso. Afternoon Tea is a little bit less saturated than Rohrer and Klingner Alt-goldgrun.

Longer Writing:

I used a Taroko Enigma notebook. Both inks had an average flow.

Overall, I like the color of Afternoon Tea the most out of these two, but I don’t like it more than R&K Alt-goldgrun, which is a similar color and cheaper too.
