Ink Review #2172: Dominant Industry Christmas Red

/

Let’s take a look at Dominant Industry Christmas Red. Thanks to Yoseka Stationery for sending this ink over for review.

The color:

Christmas Red is just that-a bright Christmas Red with shimmer.

*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 has a little bit of shading.

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: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had just a little bit of feathering and a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Christmas Red is closest to Ferris Wheel Press Wondrous Winterberry. Click here to see the red inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used an Esterbrook Estie Maraschino with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely red shimmer ink, perfect for the holiday season. It would be great for Christmas cards.
