Sailor Jentle Question

**Marsilius** · May 2nd, 2013, 02:11 PM

Perhaps someone has thoughts on this. I love the Jentle limited series. They have worked very nicely on my Rhodia paper, with the exception of both the Grenadine (#253) and the previous limited edition version of the almost identical color (I forgot its name and number!). These both look great, and then a little splotch of blackish red feather out like a blossom and bleeds through.
Is it just me? Is it just the reds?

I won't even ask if they will ever bring back the Green Tea (Rikyu Cha?). I am hoarding my last little bit.

Thanks!

I don't know if this is the same ink, but I use Sailor Jentle Grenade a lot. I have never noticed bleeding or feathering, FWIW. Fingers crossed, all the Sailor inks I've used have all been very well-behaved.

Do you see this only with one pen?

Well, I notice it with one pen with a little stub, and with my dip pen. So maybe it is just a little wet. It tends to be where I flexed enough to put down more ink. A great color, though!
