Ink Institute Premium Sheen Ink - Shadowsnow

I find shadowsnow to be close to a few other inks but it seems to have a sheen that varies with the wetness of the nib/feed and the writing speed. That character sets it apart from the others.

Oh so glad to find you still had it in stock! I’ve discovered some of my paper that was just ok for writing on is a bit too cheap and very absorbent for this ink. It needs to stay on the surface to really shine. It is stunning when it does.

I bought this on a whim last year - it's become one of my most favourite inks! It looks GREAT on so many papers. I've stocked up on two extra bottles (eek!) ... I tried the Siogang (reddish / pink) one and it's terrible. In person swatching is so much safer than online shopping - but Yoseka is far from LA! :) -

Definitely has a sheen. More dark blue in color, purple sheen, can see slight pink on outer edges.

This ink really lives up to my expectations - glorious red sheen with a beautiful blue underneath. I think I'm going to try the green as well.
