Ink Review #245: Vinta Inks Collection Violet Maskara 1890

Today I’ll be reviewing another Vinta ink. Maskara is named after the 1980s Maskara Festival during a sugarcane crisis.

This ink had high shading and no sheen. I would describe this as a light purple with bluish-pink shading.

This ink had a long dry time at 60 seconds and no water resistance.

I found that this ink had a consistent but dry flow. The color shades quite beautifully.

Overall:

This is a pretty dual-shading ink. It is dry so I would recommend using it in wet writers or broad nibs.
