Ink Review #2723: Dominant Industry Atlantis

/

Let’s take a look at Dominant Industry Atlantis from the Pearl collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Atlantis is a very pale blue that leans a little green.

*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 looks a little less green than it does on the Col-o-ring swab.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and blue shimmer.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Atlantis is closest to Ferris Wheel Press Frontenac Blue. Click here to see the blue inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Franklin-Christoph 45 in Vanness Blue with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, while I like the color on the swab, it is way too pale to be easily read. It’s also really dry and could benefit from a drop of White Lightning (ink additive).
