Wearingeul Heimdall is from their World Myth line of inks. It’s a very bold orange, which can be lighter or darker depending on shading and paper. It doesn’t have any sheen, but it has medium shading on Iroful and MD.

Scans

The shading is heaviest on Iroful, which is evident in the scans. It even has shading on the F nib lines.

Photos

There isn’t any sheen, but some places where the ink is particularly heavy it can look a little shiny.

Looking closer there is even some shading in the writing on Col-o-ring.

Microscope

No big surprises in the microscope photos. It’s mostly even in the writing with some darkening around the edges. It’s a tad lighter on Iroful.

Chromatography

Chromatography starts with a large faint area of magenta, which fades out, and then a band of yellow at the end.

There is a little glow from the yellow band, and the usual blue halo, but it didn’t translate into any noticeable effect on the swatches.

Verdict

While it’s not going to unseat Fuyu-gaki as my top Orange ink, it’s very good. I haven’t used it a ton yet, but I have it in an Asvine V200 with an EF nib and it’s worked well there so far.
