Ink Review #2881: Journalize Midnight

/

Today’s ink is Journalize Midnight from the Time of a Day collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including JetPens.

The color:

Midnight is a deep blue with rose gold 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 ton of beautiful rose gold shimmer, but like the other inks in this collection it flakes off really easily.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm, and on cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Midnight is closest to Diamine Arabian Nights. Click here to see the blue inks together.

Longer Writing:

I cannot find the photo I took of the longer writing for the life of me. I have looked everywhere, sorry! The ink has a slightly dry flow.

Overall, I love the color and it’s easily read in all nib sizes. The shimmer does flake off everywhere though, so rather than using this ink I prefer Diamine Arabian Nights.
