Ink Review #2197: Dominant Industry Sunset

Today’s ink is Dominant Industry Sunset from the Dominant Industry Pearl Collection. Thanks to Yoseka Stationery for sending this ink over for review!

The color:

Sunset is a pale lilac purple.

*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 some gold shimmer.

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:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had just a little bit of feathering and no bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Sunset is lighter than these other inks. Click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Violet with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a pretty color but it’s too light for me, even in a medium nib. I found it readable in a wet flex nib, but not in the smaller nibs.
