Ink Review #551: PenBBS #177 Beaten Path

Today I will be reviewing PenBBS #177, an emerald green with gold shimmer.

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and low red sheen. It’s a true green.

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had an average dry time of 20 seconds and low water resistance.

Writing Sample:

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm. This is my first time trying out “large” handwriting!

This ink had an average flow. I used a 1.1 Jowo stub. I actually had trouble with the shimmer; in fact, my writing sample barely showed any glitter at all.

Overall: This is a pretty holiday green. It has gorgeous shading, and would be best used in a broad or wet nib to show off the shimmer.
