Dominant Industry - Mirror - Chrome No.015

The Dominant Industry - Mirror - Chrome No.015 is a reflective silver ink, created for use with metal dip pens. To achieve the full mirror effect, this ink should be used on smooth, non-absorbent surfaces, such as glass, plastic, film, or coated paper. On an absorbent paper surface, this ink will dry down to a metallic silver, but it will not be reflective.

About Dominant Industry:

Dominant Industry, based in Paju, Korea, makes small-batch specialty inks for dip pens. Adapting mixing and blending techniques developed for silk-screen inks, they have developed calligraphy inks with unique mirror and metallic finishes that are expressive and beautiful on paper, plastic, film, and glass.  If digital CMYK colors are flat shades that are created through a subtractive process, Dominant Industry prides itself on its life-like colors that are created through an additive process, utilizing reflective and transparent pigments that incorporate natural light. Dominant Industry strives to create “bottled light,” colors that can be felt and experienced. This idea is reflected in Dominant Industry’s 4 different finishes: Hologram, Mirror, Pearl, and Standard.
