Ink Review #2505: Wearingeul Daddy Long Legs
/Wearingeul Daddy Long Legs is from the World Literature collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.
*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 has an average amount of shimmer.
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:
Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 20 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and a little bit of bleeding in the larger nib sizes.
Comparison Swabs:
Daddy Long Legs is cooler toned than Tono & Lims Burma Tourmaline. Click here to see the pink inks together.
Longer Writing:
I used a Diplomat Aero Antique Rose with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.
Overall, this ink is too pale in the smaller nib sizes for me. It’s even too pale in the broad nib in cursive, but it’s a bit darker with printing.
