In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has just a bit of shading, and looks more yellow where the ink pools.

When compared to other inks Luneta looks a bit more coral. It’s a bit more pink than Sailor Ink Studio 230, but not quite as pink was Kobe Oji Cherry. Click here to see the Troublemaker inks together, and click here to see the pink inks together.

I used a TWSBI Eco Pastel Pink with a fine nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a wetter than average flow, which worked well in this fine nib.

Overall, it’s an interesting bright pink. It worked well in the Eco fine nib which struggles with drier inks.
