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.
*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:
Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
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.
