Hi, guys and gals! Back with another ink review.
This time we are reviewing Private Reserve Black Cherry.
Pen is a Sheaffer Touchdown, medium nib. Paper is Tomoe River.
Ink is in my opinion a nice dark, almost maroon red. Hints of brown edging towards black.
This ink flows very smoothly, and has a nice, silky feel under the nib as I write with it. Does not hurt that the nib on the Touchdown used is a quite smooth one as well.
So far as I know, this is not a waterproof ink, but taking a wet piece of tissue and smearing the paper shows that it retains it's legibility when wet.
Speaking of wetness, it is in my opinion on the wet side, taking 20-25 seconds to dry on this paper, from this pen. All said, i like this ink very well.
This was another of the samples PIFed to me by Lady Onogaro. I will be reviewing as many of these as I can, as long as there is sufficient amount of ink in the sample to use the ink for a few days and still be able to do a review of it at the end of things. Some are bigger than others, but it is a wonderful thing to be able to try so many different ones.
I intend choosing a few of the inks in these samples that I think are above average, for me. This ink is a contender in that regard.
If you like darker, reddish inks, I think this one is a winner.
Thanks for reading, and once again my thanks to Lady Onogaro. Very much appreciated.
