Ink Review #2891: Dominant Industry Fishermen at Sea

We’ve been looking at Dominant Industry inks this week, our final one is Dominant Industry Fishermen at Sea from the Painters Series. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Fishermen at Sea is a deep moss 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 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, as well as on cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Mystic Forest is a little darker and a little less yellow than Kobe 49 Kitano Olive Green. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Franklin-Christoph Kelly Green with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a good basic green with a little bit of shading. I like the color and it’s well behaved.
