Ink Review #2659: Wearingeul Tsukuyomi
/Wearingeul Tsukuyomi is from the World Myth 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 looks bluer than it does on the Col-o-ring swab.
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:
Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
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.
