Ink Review 

Supplies Used:

Smear Test (Dry Time):

  • ~30 seconds – For Whom the Bell Tolls has some sheening properties, which almost always indicates that an ink will take longer to dry.

Drip Test (Water Resistance):

  • Low – Although it wasn't completely erased, it didn't hold up well enough to be legible in any way.

Saturation:

  • High – There isn't much difference between the first and third swab, as the color comes out very dark starting with the first stroke.

Ease of Cleaning:

  • Moderate – The sheening aspect allows the ink to be a bit more dried up in certain places and can be tougher to clean out completely.

Shading:

  • Low – There isn't much difference that can be spotted in the letters/writing since the saturation is so high.

Flow:

  • Wet – The flow is what causes the saturation to be so high, as a good amount of ink is put out with each stroke.

Wearingeul For Whom the Bell Tolls isn't a run-of-the-mill teal ink, as it's a bit more unique than it first seems. The dark teal color shows contrasting spots of red sheen that catch your eye when the light hits the ink on the paper. This gives an interesting beautiful darker teal and red look that's sure to cause a second glance to be had!
