Toucan Violet Ink Review

Toucan! My favorite thing about these inks is they are safely mixable with each other. I have a few favorites and I like to stick to those because I like lighter colors for putting in my super wet writers - they tend to show off their shading best that way. By the way, they are no longer offered in baggies like you see here. They're glass bottles. Alas, this is the last of the series so we must now wrap up the Toucan ink series. I haven't decided what is next yet, but I hope you found this a fun ink series.

Violet is a pretty purple - soft, shows off a lot of shading, easy to clean. It's happy, cheery, springy, and I like it. It looks great in wet, broad writers because of how well it shades. It's not super saturated but that's ok for ink play.

Toucan Umber Ink Review

Toucan! My favorite thing about these inks is they are safely mixable with each other. I have a few favorites and I like to stick to those because I like lighter colors for putting in my super wet writers - they tend to show off their shading best that way. By the way, they are no longer offered in baggies like you see here. They're glass bottles.

Well, I have to say Umber is one of my least favorite inks from the Toucan line up. It's just a plain brown to me. Adding some Scarlet and Primrose/Gold makes it a little more desirable but as it is, it's just bleh to me. Not a big fan.

Toucan Turquoise Ink Review

Toucan! My favorite thing about these inks is they are safely mixable with each other. I have a few favorites and I like to stick to those because I like lighter colors for putting in my super wet writers - they tend to show off their shading best that way. By the way, they are no longer offered in baggies like you see here. They're glass bottles.

Turquoise is stunning. It is light enough to show off some exquisite shading, it makes me think of caribbean seas again, and I love it. It's easy to clean, easy to work with, and it's well-behaved. Just beautiful. To me, this is an almost perfect turquoise.

Toucan Sienna Ink Review

Toucan! My favorite thing about these inks is they are safely mixable with each other. I have a few favorites and I like to stick to those because I like lighter colors for putting in my super wet writers - they tend to show off their shading best that way. By the way, they are no longer offered in baggies like you see here. They're glass bottles.

This Sienna is a warm, red-brown - a color that I am often attracted to. I picture red earth, rusty water; rich, shaded. I am a big fan. It is not particularly difficult to clean out of pens, either.

Toucan Scarlet Ink Review

Toucan! My favorite thing about these inks is they are safely mixable with each other. I have a few favorites and I like to stick to those because I like lighter colors for putting in my super wet writers - they tend to show off their shading best that way. By the way, they are no longer offered in baggies like you see here. They're glass bottles.

Scarlet is just not the right kind of red for me. I find it boring, bland, a little too washed out. I don't even find it appealing for blending. It also leans to the orange side and if there's anything I don't care for, it's a reddish ink that leans towards orange!

Toucan Royal Blue Ink Review

Toucan! My favorite thing about these inks is they are safely mixable with each other. I have a few favorites and I like to stick to those because I like lighter colors for putting in my super wet writers - they tend to show off their shading best that way. By the way, they are no longer offered in baggies like you see here. They're glass bottles.
Price: $6.90AUD
Where to buy: Just Write

Toucan's Royal Blue is much lighter than I expected. Medium saturation, but very easy to blend with and clean out of pens. It looks like a washed out version of a royal blue to me, not rich and saturated, but it does show some shading.
