Great sampler to try your favorite black ink that's "washable".

This sampler set is the perfect way to choose not only which black ink you like to use, but one that is washable. My spouse has an issue with getting ink splotches on his clothing. Through trial and error in using this set - he discovered the Diamine Onyx Black was not only his preferred color to use in his Lamy CP1, but that the ink will wash out of fabric.

Looking for clothing-friendly black - FOUND ONE!

I own a TWSBI Eco. I had Jaques Herbin Blue d'Minuet in it, and wen ton vacation while the pen was low on ink. One day the ink started splotching, and some got on my shirt. I was excited whe I soaked the shirt in cold water overnight, and it came out GONE! Very happy. So I was looking for a black that was clothing friendly (I'll be looking for other colors later). My wife bought this sample set, and I tested them all by writing on a clean white rag with all of them using a glass pen. I then soaked the rag in cold water overnight. ONLY Diamine Onyx Black.came out completely! I included a picture... It is number FOUR in the picture. I'll be buying a bottle soon, as the sample will hardly make a dent in the HUGE piston-filler inkwell in the Eco pen!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute a color in this ink sample set? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

No. We are unable to make substitutions in any of our ink sample sets.

All of our ink samples are also available for purchase separately.

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
