Ink Review #2367: Troublemaker Sinulog Black

/

Troublemaker Sinulog Black is from the standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Sinulog Black is a deep black with a blue undertone.

*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 dries to a velvety black.

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: 100 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 bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Sinulog Black isn’t super close to any of these other black inks. Click here to see the black inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Kaweco Al-sport Red with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, it’s a bit of an unsual color with that blue undertone, but it’s too dry for me.
