Today’s ink is Kyo-no-oto Ginkaisyoku Silver Grey. 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 a medium amount of silver 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:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Ginkaisyoku is a little lighter than Nemosine Blue Snowball Nebula Twinkle. Click here to see the blue inks together.

I used a Pilot Vanishing Point Black Ice with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, I like this ink-it’s an interesting color but it is very dry.
