Arctic Blue by Diamine
I know logically this ink has a sheen, but for the life of me I can’t find it. Not in the writing, anyway!
Tag: Sheening
Solferino by Rohrer & Klingner
Do you like fuchsia? Then this is the ink for you. It’s intensely saturated and very well-behaved.
Winter by Krishna
It feels like a springtime and celebratory ink, given the saturation of color and also the depth of hue.
Vert Atlantide by Jacques Herbin
A grey-green ink with black sheening that I can’t really locate, shading, and a subtle shimmer effect. It’s classy, as you’d expect for their 350th anniversary.
Wayfarer by Wearingeul
Why does Wearingeul INSIST on making such gorgeous inks? A teal ink with violet shimmer, pink sheen, and moderate shading, named after a piece of Japanese literature- how could I not??
Alanine by Organics Studio
This lovely aqua ink has silver shimmer and pink sheen in high concentrations. Sadly, Organics Studio folded. Luckly, a shimmering, shading, sheening teal is an ink just about everyone carries.
Syo-Ro by Pilot Iroshizuku
Although it swatches that lovely pine-green it’s supposed to be, in writing this ink is definitely more blue. Whomp whomp. It still shades and sheens prettily, though!
Cocoa Shimmer by Diamine
Cocoa Shimmer is indeed a chocolate brown ink with gold shimmer that really gives it life. It’s a rich hue and an easy, consistent ink to write with.
Hokusai-Sabimidori by Taccia
The base ink color is not as advertised, but this has a perfect amount of lovely sheen to it, and strong shading so I’m not TOO mad. I’ll probably buy another Taccia ink in the future, and I’ll definitely try this one on different papers to see what may change.
Blue Water Ice by Robert Oster
Blue Water Ice is a bright mid-tone blue with some delicate red sheening, mostly seen around the outlines of some letters. It probably rocks in a Flex nib.
