Wearingeul King Lear 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 plenty of red 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: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

King Lear is way less saturated than these other green inks. Click here to see the green inks together.

I used a Kaweco Al-sport Red with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, the color is interesting, but it’s too light and dry for everyday use.
