Today’s ink is Wearingeul Phantom of the Opera from the World Literature collection. 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 plenty of sheen.

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: 80 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

Phantom has more sheen than Sailor Ink Studio 940. Click here to see the blue inks together.

I used a Montegrappa Elmo with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, this ink is way too dry for me. I enjoyed the color and the sheen didn’t smear.
