Ink Review #2767: Journalize Dawn

/

Journalize Dawn is from the Time of a Day collection. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Dawn is a medium 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 it has sooo much shimmer!

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 cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and lots of shimmer!

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

Comparison Swabs:

Dawn is lighter than J Herbin 1670 Violet Imperial. Click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pilot Vanishing Point Twilight with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, the base color is pretty, but it can get pretty light in smaller nib sizes. The shimmer also gets everywhere! It sheds way more than the average shimmer ink.
