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.

FAQ about Ink Samples

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

It depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial.

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

It really depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our Ink samples, or one good fill with a piston-filling pen. How much writing depends on you more than anything else, so we recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you. 

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.
