Ink Review #2423: Wearingeul The Black Cat

Today’s ink is Wearingeul The Black Cat (aff. link), an EndlessPens exclusive. Thanks to EndlessPens for sending this ink over for review!

The color:

The Black Cat is a medium black with red shimmer.

*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 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:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and red shimmer.

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

Comparison Swabs:

The Black Cat is closest to Colorverse Shiny Black. Click here to see the black inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pelikan M605 Black Tortoise with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely black shimmer ink, well behaved and a nice color.
