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 a tiny bit of bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Tsukuyomi is a bit lighter than Diamine A Toe In The Ocean. Click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Lamy Al-star Pacific Blue with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, while I like the color in swabs, it’s just too pale and dry in writing for me. In long writing it started out okay with a fresh fill, but after a few lines it just becomes pale and unreadable.
