Ink Review #2880: Journalize Noon

/

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

The color:

Noon is a pale blue with a ton of 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 shimmer, but 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: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Noon is closest to Van Dieman’s Snow Leopard. 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, this ink is too pale for me in the smaller nib sizes, and too dry for my taste. The shimmer also flakes off the page so easily and gets everywhere.
