We are looking at blue inks this week, today’s blue is Kobe 50 Kyomachi Legend Blue. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

*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 just a little bit of copper sheen.

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:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

On 20 lb copy paper there is some feathering and bleeding in all nib sizes.

Kyomachi is closest to Tono & Lims I Feel so Refreshed. Click here to see the blue inks together.

I used a TWSBI Eco Transparent Blue with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a wet flow.

Overall, this is another good blue ink from Kobe. They do a great job on their inks, and this one is no exception.
