Ink Review #1937: Vinta Pamana

Vinta Heritage Brown Pamana 2018 is from the Series 3 collection. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Pamana is a rich tobacco brown with green sheen.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink is darker with more sheen.

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:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, high green sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Pamana is closest to Jacques Herbin Terre d’Ombre. Click here to see the brown inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Montegrappa Copper Mule with a fine nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a slightly dry flow.

Overall, I’m not a big fan of the color, it’s just too red for me, but it’s well behaved.
