Here is another sort-of pink ink that was generously donated by amberleadavis, famed Inky! En-Abe-Lawyer. Wancher is a Japanese concern dealing in pens and inks since 1987. This particular ink comes in a rectangular plastic bottle and is my first experience with the brand. With a heavier swab application, Evine can appear more burgundy. In the Kaweco lookalike Wing's 3007 it's more a soft, dusty pink. In contrast with De Atramentis Goat, Ebine seems a bit more dry going onto the paper, but not to the point of an unpleasant writing experience. Not at all water-resistant ... dries quickly enough for southpaw use. http://extras.ourpatioparty.com/files/2415/8933/0899/Wancher-640p.jpg The chroma seems to show a single component, but...is that a teeny turquoise halo at the very edge? http://extras.ourpatioparty.com/files/4415/8933/0899/Wancher_Chroma-640p.jpg It's perfect for spring.

Got Your Goat De Atramentis Goat ink is part of their Zodiac series. The color is an intense, vivid, almost electric fuschia. A while back, I had a sample vial of DA Fuschia, which I put in a needlepoint-nibbed Delike New Moon. It, too, showed flat color, with little shading, and it seemed stingy and dry, so it frustrated me a bit. I like this Zodiac ink much more than the sample of Fuschia, because it's in the more generous Dollar Demonstrator... something to keep in mind for future bright-color inking. Dry time? Pretty swift. For which this southpaw is grateful. Water 💦 resistance? Nope. See? Though I seldom drop water on my writing, except like now, when it's on purpose. It's a cheerful color, and makes me smile. http://extras.ourpatioparty.com/files/7015/8928/2477/Goat-640p.jpg The 'chroma' reveals a single color element. http://extras.ourpatioparty.com/files/4615/8928/2476/Goat_Chroma-640p.jpg Many thanks to Amberleadavis, Supreme Inky En-Abe-Lawyer , for allowing me to try this ink!
