The Ink Archiving Book - Dominant Industry

The Ink Archiving Book is a specialized tool produced by the South Korean brand Dominant Industry. It is designed specifically for the stationery and fountain pen industry, serving as a comprehensive log for fountain pen and calligraphy ink enthusiasts.

Purpose and Functionality

The book acts as a creative catalog to organize, identify, and archive an individual's ink collection. Its core features include:

• Ink Indexing: Dedicated sections to swatch each ink individually and log details like name and brand.
• Artistic Testing: Pre illustrated pages reminiscent of a nature study notebook allow users to color in detailed drawings of animals (such as whales) and objects to see how different inks, especially shimmering or sheening varieties, perform on paper.
• Ink Testing Paper: The book uses high quality 100gsm paper specifically chosen to handle multiple layers of ink and watercolor without feathering or bleeding through.

Thematic Series

Dominant Industry releases these books in thematic volumes:

• Volume 1 (A Log of Atlantis): Features ocean inspired illustrations, including whales like the one in your image.
• Volume 2 (A Log of Elixir): Focuses on themes of mystery, alchemy, and vintage trinkets.
