/

Let’s take a look at Dominant Industry Royal Azalea from the Dominant Industry Standard Collection. Thanks to Yoseka for sending this ink over for review!

The color:

Apple Blossom is a bright magenta pink.

*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 some shading.

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: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Royal Azalea is a little lighter than Pilot Iroshizuku Tsutsuji. Click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Pink with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely ink. It’s a nice color and it’s well behaved.
