Ink Review #2890: Dominant Industry Les Falaises a Etretat

/

We are continuing on with Dominant Industry inks this week-today’s ink is Dominant Industry Les Falaises a Etretat from the Pearl collection. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Les Falaises is in-between blue and green. Before y’all come for me-the color is totally light dependent. In warmer light it looks more green, in cooler light it looks more blue. It was warmer light when I was working on this review, and therefore it appears more 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 lots of shimmer-I’m not quite sure what color the shimmer is. If I had to pick a color I would say it’s champagne and green.

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: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Les Falaises is a little more green than Ferris Wheel Press Frontenac Blue. Click here to see the green inks together. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I love the color-it’s not a super common color, but it can be too light to be easily read in smaller nib sizes. I prefer it in a medium or broad nib for everyday writing, but it is really pretty in a flex nib.
