Today let’s take a look at four inks from the Wearingeul Kim So Wol collection. You can find these inks for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

Swabs:

Left to right: Half Moon, Song of the Reed, Flowers on the Way and Flowing Leaves.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 30-70 seconds

Water Resistance: Low-Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: Three had low shading and Song of the Reed had medium shading. Half Moon had blue shimmer and Flowing Leaves had silver shimmer.

On Walmart Pen + Gear copy paper there was some feathering in every nib size but just a little bit of bleeding.

Half Moon isn’t super close to any of these other grey shimmer inks.

Song of the Reed is a little more yellow than Inkebara Earth.

Flowers on the Way isn’t super close to any of these other pink inks.

Flowing Leaves is a little darker than PenBBS Forgive Green.

All had dry flows.

Overall, all four were too dry for me. I don’t think I have a favorite-they were all about the same for me. I could take or leave them.
