This ink was part of blind ink testing on another pen site. It's fun testing inks without knowing anything about them. It removes a lot of preconceived ideas about certain brands... For my first Taccia ink, I got an unapologetic screaming pink It’s fun ink for washes for accents, but I don't see myself writing it. It has the subtlety of a bubblegum Just check the chroma: Writing samples: TR 68 gr Mnemosyne Rhodia Midori - Note feed was saturated... on the 2nd line... This is a cheap Hilroy notebook. The paper is so absorbent that you can have ghosting with pencil marks Note bleed through and ghosting but then almost anything bleeds through on this paper... Dry time: It was quite long on Rhodia. But then Jinhao 450s are very wet pens. So take it with a grain of salt: I also added a naïve drawing I did as part of yearly Inktober... The prompt I believe was tooth... I went for tooth fairy... Comparison: Mystery 45 is Momo Pink.. it's very close to Diamine Hope Pink...
