Lone my new pen and ink color

Super-It was my first experience with Sailor ink and I like it very much!

Rich Dark Purple

I recently ordered some Sailor samples for my new Wicked Witch of the West. I usually try to color match my pens but with the WW I'm not sure what I want to do yet, I just know that the pen prefers Sailor inks and I don't have any.Rambling aside, this was the first ink I tried by Sailor and in my new pen. It is a rich dark purple that complements the pen beautifully. It has some shading in a medium nib and I've had zero performance issues with it. Whether it will be the bottle I buy for my Sailor... I haven't decided yet.

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.
