Ink Review #2473: Wearingeul Hamlet

/

Today let’s take a look at Wearingeul Hamlet from the World Literature collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Hamlet is a medium blue black.

*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 multi-colored 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: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and multi-colored shimmer.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Hamlet is closest to Dominant Industry Winter Night. Click here to see the blue black inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pilot Vanishing Point Wish with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a very dry flow, I really struggled to write a full page-I had to prime the feed twice.

Overall, I really like the color and the multi-colored shimmer, but the flow was way too dry for me.
