Ink Review #100: Sailor Studio 230 — Fountain Pen Pharmacist

Hello, and welcome to my blog's 100th ink review! Time sure has flown since my first post . I've settled into a steady rhythm of writing and reviewing inks. Moving forward, I would like to improve on my color descriptions--I can only describe a color as a "greener green" for so long. . Thank you for hopping along the fountain pen/ink ride. I look forward to seeing how this blog will grow in the future!

Today I am reviewing Sailor Ink #230. This is a light red.

Swabs:

This ink had a moderate dry time, very low/no shading, and no sheen. The color is not a true red and instead has a slightly faded, pinkish hue.

Writing Sample:

This ink had a consistent, wet flow. I tend to gravitate towards wetter/ lubricated inks and found that this was no exception. In fact, I've enjoyed the Sailor Studio collection so far. Sailor 230 provided a glassy, smooth writing experience.

Overall: This is a festive pinkish red.
