Ink Review #532: 3 Oysters Seal Brown

Our next 3 Oysters ink this week is Seal Brown from the Delicious collection. Thanks to Pen Chalet for sending a sample over for review.

The color:

Seal Brown is a dark brown with some shading.

Swabs:

In large swabs the ink looks much darker. After a few days the large swabs still haven’t completely dried. There is no sheen.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was feathering in all nib sizes and some bleeding in the flex nib.

Comparison Swabs:

Seal Brown is closest to Colorverse Space Laika. Click here to see the 3 Oysters inks together.

Longer writing:

I used an Edison Collier Blue Steel with a broad SIG nib on a Midori MD Notebook. The ink had a slightly dry flow.

Overall, the ink is a bit dry for me, but other than that it’s well behaved. There isn’t anything about it that wows me, but it’s a nice color.
