Just got this in mail today along with the other 7 inks.

 

Inked up pilot custom 823 F nib with this. Getting shading on normal copy paper but no sheen(not too surprised). Tomoe River needed for sheen?

Not necessarily TR, but definitely less absorbent papers. For me, it sheens on Life Noble, Maruman Mnemosyne, and Apica. Those are written with a pretty wet Sailor B, though, so your experience may vary with a F...

Maruman:

 

 

Life Noble:

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to any of those.

Gotta wait for TR.

 

823 is a fairly wet writer and if TR doesn't absorb ink, there should be some sheen.

You should definitely get some sheen on TR!

Dhruv are you waiting for TR to arrive or do you not have any? If you send me your address I'd be happy to mail you a sheet or two.

Hi fireant,

 

Thank you for your offer. I have ordered 4000 sheets of tomoe River paper but the shipping is a real killer. The shipping costs more than the paper so I am thinking of using cheaper shipping which may take 1-2 months to get here.

So technically I don't have any for the next 2 months.

[fireant]

PM me your address and I will send you a few sheets.

 

ETA they will be folded, since I will be putting them into an airmail envelope.

Thank you. Done.

What nib/pen are you using in that review?

A Sailor Pro Gear in B, adjusted to be a little wetter than the norm.

Nice review. I just want to bump this thread so that I can shout from the hilltops:

 

I LOVE THIS INK!!!!

 

I never thought I would be so crazy about a pinkish/maroon color, but the way this shades... it's so damn beautiful and just pops off the page. It has swiftly risen to "always inked" status.

Thanks for the review.

I have a sample of this ink but haven't tried it yet. Seems as if I have something to look forward to....
