Ferris Wheel Press Wonderland in Coral - Ink Sample
2ml sample of Ferris Wheel Press Wonderland in Coral fountain pen ink, an orange-coral color with added silver shimmer. Wonderland in Coral is part of the Bookshoppe collection.
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.

Customer Reviews
I love this color. When it is wet I almost looks watered down or that it doesn't write well but when it's dry it is so pretty.
This is exactly as shown, little to no pink but a beautiful, soft coral or apricot. Wish my Kaweco Sport Iridescent were wetter to get more ink on the page! This is not high contrast ink on white paper, but a soft, gentle look. It's quick to dry, what's not to like? I'll be ordering a full bottle.
Love it, it's a beautiful ink with a njce shine and sheen. I got the 2 bottles of the sample size and it's enough to fill my TWSBI Go pen. Love the shimmer and the sheen. It feels very feminine and I feel inspired when I write with it.
Used in Lamy 1.9 stub on various papers. A low contrast coral color. A bit too light for my desires. Has great shimmer. I didn't experience shading but it is an ink that I could layer to get darker variations. It is a lovely color with sparkle but for writing it isn't for me. However, I would try other inks from this brand and I will definitely buy from this online store again.
Wonderland is Coral is a 'clear' (thin?) ink that dries to be a lovely, Light coral. You will like it!
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.
