Vinta Awareness Inks

Vinta released a collection called Awareness that contains 5 inks. Let’s take a look! You can find these inks for sale at Vanness Pens.

Swabs:

Left to right: Nahan, Isabela, Ibid, Tandikan and Haribon.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 15-30 seconds

Water Resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: All 5 had medium shading and shimmer.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Nahan isn’t very close to any of these.

Isabela is more orange than these other pink inks.

Ibid is close to Dream Inks Garden.

Tandikan is similar to Dream Inks Mermaid. Haribon is closest to Robert Oster Violet Dreams.

Longer Writing:

All 5 inks had a dry flow.

Overall, Nahan is my favorite out of the five simply because I think it’s the most legible. All five colors are a bit unique, but are rather pale and can be hard to read in the smaller nib sizes.
