Ink Review #2564: Wearingeul The Great Sage Heaven's Equal

Wearingeul The Great Sage Heaven's Equal is from the World Myth collection. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Heaven’s Equal is a maroon red with gold shimmer.

*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 lots of gold 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:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and gold shimmer.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Heaven’s Equal is closest to Ferris Wheel Press Wondrous Winterberry. Click here to see the red inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Sailor Pro Gear Slim Supernova Red with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, I like the color, but the ink is too dry for me.
