I was quite a fan of this look and it was a unique characteristic of Tomoe River paper that is disappointing (to me!) that this is gone. The inks look much like it would on any fibrous paper. This look is no longer present in the NEW Tomoe River. Tomoe River nearly always shows ink in a glossy, almost plastic-like look to it. The paper also has a more parchment look to it (more later on that). The colour isn’t all that different in its presentation, for the most part. Some general changes are that the the NEW paper presents inks very slightly darker than the OLD. These inks, which haven’t been mentioned, were not colour corrected in editing with the exception of the Pilot Broad CI and the Franklin Christoph Medium Sig which I wanted to show for the purpose of displaying an ink that Halo’d and an ink that showed dichromaticism in lavender and blue. The writing at the bottom of the review was for me to test out different nibs and inks I am familiar with to assist in me making the comparison. Robert Oster Red Orange: Is a high saturation slightly dirty orange ink that can illicit a faded look on Tomoe River. It nearly always feathers and bleeds and displays as quite faded and splotchy Noodler’s Pushkin: is a poor performing ink. Montblanc Irish Green: This is a dry ink with low moderate saturation that can show with good shading and no sheen (apart from on the swatch) īungubox Omotesando Blue: Is a moderate sheen Sailor wet ink with little shading that is quite dark and moderately saturated that is very wet and can show dual sheen ĭiamine Skull & Roses: Is a super sheening wet ink with limited shading and high saturation It can present with decent shading in the right conditions Robert Oster Bondi Blue: This ink is a moderate saturation and moderately wet ink with good lubrication that presents with a low moderate amount of sheen that occurs at the edge of where the ink pools and can show with various degrees of saturation. Lamy Crystal Ink: This ink is high saturation wet ink that presents with a moderate amount of sheen The inks used in this comparison and the general characteristics are: The question is how different and in what ways, naturally. There are certainly notable differences between new and old… let’s get that out of the way. All the Tomoe River Paper in this review is the 52gsm variety. There are two types of Tome River paper, cream and Ivory (off white).
