Customer Reviews
Ferris Wheel Press has done it again! A pale, whimsical color that is still most certainly legible. One does not have to struggle to decipher the words but can also appreciate the paleness of the color. A perfect balance of blue with a hint of green to make a sky/baby blue that leans a little teal (it remains unmistakably blue, however). Thought it was a bit more stormy grey but turned out to be a tad more vibrant � not at all disappointing, though! This ink is the awe of many friends of mine. Astonishingly highlightable, too, as it does not smear and is dark enough to be visible, though it does then become a bit hard to read. Would recommend to all!
First experience with Goulet Pens, and loved it! I wanted to try this FWP ink without committing to a full bottle. I've really enjoyed this ink so far! It is more teal than what I was expecting from the pictures. I've been using it in a Kaweco Sport M nib. It's wet and flows nicely. I've used it on cheap notebook paper, copy paper, and an Oasis notebook. Except for a bit of feathering on the cheap notebook paper, I've had no issues. Like a previous review mentioned, it makes you feel happy.
This shade needs more love! It's a muted sky blue with incredible shading. It makes me happy when I use it. It's one of those colors that can be used in any size nib and look nice. I'm on my third sample, so it's time for a full size bottle
Into dusty shades right now, love it
This ink dries fast and has a lovely even shade of old winter sky. Beautiful for painting and writing.
FAQ about Ink Samples
How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial?
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?
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?
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?
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.
