A tad lighter than expected

A tad lighter than expected but still quite
glow-y. The feel of the ink is very satisfying. It is neither too watery or too stiff; just present enough.

Great

This is one of the most beautiful shades of ink I have used and the shading is so different when the light hits the paper.I would highly recommend this ink .

Beautiful, Visible Yellow

This ink is fascinating to see in different lighting: bright, direct white light brings out the subtly of the color & hue, and more blueish light makes the shading more distinct. I've seen negligible feathering, see-through, or bleedthrough unless I'm inking out a mistake. Absolutely gorgeous.

It's even better than I expected! It was my first time using bottled ink rather than cartridges and I'm so happy I decided to try! Shipping was fast and very carefully packed! I'm definitely going to continue using this company!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
