Sienna - Toucan

[visvamitra]

Toucan fountain pen ink is Australian made fountain pen ink that comes in 14 colours that can be mixed with each other to make your own custom coloured inks. The inks are formulated from water soluble dyes with no harmful additives and pH is supposed to be neutral (7). At the moment the inks are offered in glass 30 ml bottles.

I know very little about the ink maker. I had a chance to try few of their inks thanks to Cyber6 - amazing ink enabler. At the moment I have two of their inks that I enjoy - Sienna and Orange. The full line consists of fourteen colors:

 

1. Aqua
2. Black
3. Blue
4. Bright Green
5. Crimson
6. Gold
7. Magenta
8. Orange
9. Primrose
10. Royal Blue
11. Sienna
12. Turquoise
13. Umber
14. VIolet

Sienna is enjoyable brown ink. I would describe it as wet but with moderate lubrication. It has really nice shading potential and the ink is easy to clean. It'll never do to my top 5 but I find it interesting and pleasant to write with.

 

If you look for water resistant ink, look elsewhere.

Shame I only discovered this after ordering a couple of shades of Diamine Red-Browns. It is a lovely color. Might need some depending on how the diamines go.
