Tono & Lims Baby Color Inks Part 2

Let’s take a look at three new additions to the Tono & Lims Baby Color collection: Protect U, Disturbing U and Yakiimo. Thanks to Shigure Inks for sending samples over for review!

Swabs:

Left to right: Protect U, Disturbing U and Yakiimo.

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: Low-there was some feathering on Rhodia and Leuchtturm.

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:

Protect U is a little bit lighter and cooler in tone than De Atramentis Mouse Grey. Disturbing U is a little cooler-toned than J Herbin Rouille d’ancre. Yakiimo is close to Private Reserve Buttercup.

Longer Writing:

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

Overall, all three are nice but nothing I have to have. Out of the three I like Yakiimo the best.
