The entire staff is great to talk to when ordering and if you are able to stop by their store, the inks can be purchased in person! Here’s a glimpse of that book full of Sailor Studio swatches: Dromgoole’s was kind enough to provide this bottle of 442 for review and you can find ordering instructions here. However, Sailor did put a restriction on these sales – orders for Sailor Studio inks can only be taken over the phone. Good news! Sailor has recently started allowing sales of these small bottles of sunshine by select retailers in the US. If you have ever tried to purchase Sailor Studio inks, you know how tough it can be to find a store selling it, pay for the shipping and wait for the slow boat to make its way overseas (unless you are lucky enough to live in Japan). Since receiving this ink, it has been in constant use.
It’s actually more of a halo than sheen, though. One characteristic of Sailor Studio 442 that wasn’t present in other swatches was a very faint sheen. To see the beautiful shading in this ink, I got up close to a larger swatch. Below I was writing with an extra-fine SIG nib from Franklin-Christoph – even in this narrow stub width, the ink had no problem shading. Studio 442 shades well, from a blue-ish lavender to a midnight blue. However, it is not water-resistant, so keep that in mind at work! Dry time is good (about 20 seconds) and it doesn’t smear after it dries. In writing, Sailor Studio actually shows as close to a blue-black ink which makes it a possible work-safe ink. While wet, 442 looks much closer to Penbbs #85. In-person, 442’s darker sections are close to Montblanc Petrol. The lightest color in 442 is close to Diamine Prussian Blue.
This separation helps the ink from fading into the pack of blue inks available.Ĭolor classification was tough with Sailor Studio 442, since the separate colors aren’t present in other inks. However, the ink also shows some of its complex components as it dries – purple and a faint teal halo. That rich blue does show well during writing, although fades a bit as the ink dries. A rich blue that contains less purple than the label would indicate. My first glimpse of Sailor Studio 442 revealed a much brighter blue ink than I was expecting. The packaging also includes several stickers with the ink number and suggestions to place the stickers on a converter so you remember which ink is inside. The small glass bottle is the same as every Sailor Studio ink – a beautiful glass bottle, but one that is quite utilitarian. Nothing on the front indicates a special color. Sailor Studio 442 appears from the label to be a light to medium blue that leans towards purple. And the appearance was enough for me to order more! So even though the Sailor Studio inks were not present, the colors did make an appearance. One ink that was sadly missing from the shelves was Sailor Studio since they are restricted from bringing the ink to shows, but they did bring beautiful swatch cards of each ink. In fact, I was often seen browsing through the large ink shelves they had set up. The Colorado Pen Show took place only a few days ago and I was very happy to see the Dromgoole’s table at the show.
