Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Buko Pandan is closest to Ferris Wheel Press Down the Don Valley. Click here to see the green inks together.

I used a Pelikan M605 Green White with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, I love the color, but it can be too light in the smaller nib sizes. It’s also a little drier than I prefer.
