Ink Review #632: Pineider Turquoise

Today I will be reviewing Pineider Turquoise. School has picked up quite a bit lately; from now until the end of the semester we will have weekly exams. I’ve also been busy studying for boards on top of classes. Currently, we have 12 days remaining in our respiratory block. Our last block of the semester is Renal (but to be honest, I’m looking forward to winter break).

Ink reviews have slowed to a crawl (but I will try to keep up with the posts!).

Swabs:

Pineider Turquoise had medium shading and low red sheen. It is a regular turquoise and is slightly lighter than Lamy Turquoise.

This ink had an average flow and saturation.

Overall: This is a cheerful ink, perfect for the summer! I will say that the color is similar to other turquoise inks and thus will not be purchasing a full sample.
