Ink Review #519: Taccia Cha Brown

Our next Taccia ink is Cha Brown. Thanks to Pen Chalet for sending a sample over for review.

The color:

Cha Brown is a nice medium-dark brown with a bit of a red undertone.

Swabs:

In large swabs there is no sheen, but some interesting shading.

Writing samples:

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

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

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 the larger nib sizes and bleeding in the flex nib.

Comparison Swabs:

Cha Brown is darker than Beijing and Ancient Copper, but not as dark as Toffee Brown. Click here to see the Taccia inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a medium Pelikan M800 Renaissance Brown on Tomoe River 68gsm. The ink had a wet flow.

Overall, it’s a nice wet brown ink. There’s some nice shading and it’s well behaved.
