on saleSailor Yurameku Itezora - Ink Sample

COLOR: This is a tri-tone ink characterized by green, purple, and cool grey. If you look closely (or if you use a broad nib), you will see all three colors. As the Goulet swatches imply, the color differs with the type of paper, more so than most other inks.FLOW: This was a dry ink and would likely do best in a Pilot medium (or similar) or broader.SPECIAL QUALITIES: Sailor is known for its multi-dimensional inks. This is no exception. On 52g Tomoe River Paper, the more it pools, the more green will appear, especially around the edges of lines or on the outer rim of ink drops. Unlike normal shading, which is a variation in saturation of color often making the redundant parts of letters look darker, this ink "shades" by revealing different colors due to ink pooling along those segments of letters. This effect is fairly dramatic. Dries at a normal rate.READABILITY: Lower than most inks. To my eyes, its degree of shading is distracting and makes it harder to read in fine tip.

This is a gorgeous color. I love the shading inks by sailor, but it's not good for journaling, for me. My vision isnt terrible, but not the best. It was very hard to reread my writing. I look forward to using it in art, however.

I love the Sailor Yurameku inks. I love the flow, the shading, and how complex it is depending on what paper you use. I highly recommend this ink, even in a Fine nib.
