On Walmart Pen + Gear copy paper there was some feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Hissy Fit is similar to Ferris Wheel Press Double Raspberry.

Lake Water is a little more green than Birmingham Glassmith.

Longer Writing:

All three had slightly wet flows.

Overall, I enjoyed all three of these. The flows were slightly wet which I love, and I love all three colors. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
