Today’s ink is Colorverse Rainy Day from the Joy in the Ordinary collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink shades almost to a green where it pooled.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had feathering in all nib sizes and some bleeding.

Rainy Day is lighter than Lennon Tool Bar Hobe. Click here to see the blue inks together.

I used a Kaweco Sport Elite Royalty with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, this is a nice medium blue, but even in a broad nib it’s on the lighter side and can be hard to read, especially in the smaller nib sizes.
