2ml sample of Ferris Wheel Press Stroke of Midnight fountain pen ink, a dark blue color with added gold and silver shimmer, and a red sheen. Stroke of Midnight was originally released in celebrate of the New Year.

Ferris Wheel Press fountain pen inks are available in many distinct colors that spur excitement, creativity, and a feeling of absolute joy every time you write. The water-based inks are suitable for all fountain pens, and are made with the highest quality dyes and resins, featuring rich and saturated tones.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink. Shimmering inks work best with broader nibs on high quality paper to really see the shine.

Refined and smouldering

The shimmer is subtle and beautiful. It reveals itself when I use a dip pen. The color is quite intriguing. It's not gray, not black, and not blue in the average sense of the word. It reminds me of a very dark night sky with few stars and a sliver of a moon. Different effects can be obtained by choosing your nib wisely for what you'd like to express. Refined and smouldering, I like it.

exquisite

i've collected nearly 100 ink samples as of this writing and have 30 proper bottles of ink so yeah, OCD is is factor here with my current obsession with beautiful and unique inks...Ferris Wheel Press Stroke of Midnight is a lovely shade of darker blue with subtle shimmering qualities that is very nice...my ink collection at the moment is more for art related shading and texturing projects but the writing i have done with this ink is exceptional...so good chance that i'll obtain a bottle at some point in the future

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.
