Screaming Magenta!!

Bright is the word to describe it! If you like colors that pops on paper as you write, you'll be happy with this ink... Saturated and strong, flows very well and even could be highly recommended as a daily ink!

Wow!

First off, fuchsia is my favorite color, especially when it is tipped just a bit to the violet side. This ink is exactly that color! It flows beautifully, has some nice shading and a beautiful green shimmer in spots when used in a nice wet pen. The way the ink goes down it's almost like there's an outline around every line you put down. You have to look close to see it, but it makes the ink really stand out from the page. It's simply stunning!

Very nice pink undertoned purple

This ink has nice characteristics and a color that pops off the page. A little too pinkish for me to use regularly but a very nice purple none the less.

Beautiful color

I had bought a sample of this R & K ink and had immediately fallen in love with it. I had to have a full bottle!The color of the Solferino is so rich... I wouldn't call it a purple as much as it's more of a Magenta... It has those rosey pink tones in it, along with the purple base. It's just such a different color, and I'm so glad to have found it to add it to my ink collection.

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.
