I think I need more pens!

I don't really need full bottles of these purple inks but they are so beautiful. Maybe if I had more pens? Goulet always puts together the best sample sets!

The curated sample sets are terrific!

I got this one for my wife. The sample sets are not only helpful but great fun. It helps to get a dip pen so you can write a few lines without having to ink up and clean a fountain pen.

Purple Panoply

Included in this sample set is a diverse variety, which I really appreciate. There a few that I know I won't purchase, and others that I will definitely get bottles of -- but it's nice to see the different types of inks that are available.(I marked some of the criteria below as Medium because all of the different samples were so different)

Purple rain differs each drop.

Terrific ink samples, at least for me! Purple is always my go to color, partially because it is my school color and partially because it reminds me of our Mt. Fuji (in my language, Fuji means pale bright violet as well). I like De Atramentis document violet a lot and will probably buy a bottle of it. Each color has its own character and you may find your own favorite one!

A nice selection of purples

I purchased the Bright & Light Purple Best Sellers - Ink Sample Set for my niece, who is new to fountain pens and a big fan of the color purple. I wanted to afford her the opportunity to pick exactly the right shade for her tastes. She has been using Diamine Imperial Purple, so this sample set provided a baseline with which she was familiar, plus seven additional shades of purple to try out. I hope amongst these purples (or maybe the other set of darker purples?) she will find her true color. As for me, I find the Diamine Imperial Purple an attractive dark/medium purple, while the Iroshizuku Murasaki-shikibu is pretty (and has outstanding Pilot flow properties) if your taste tends to something a bit lighter and brighter.As usual, my order arrived super quick (within a few days of ordering), and was packed with a slightly insane amount of care. The Goulet Pen Co. ink samples are a great way to pick just the right ink for your needs/tastes or to try out some inks before you commit to a whole bottle. If you are on the fence about one or more colors and want to try them out first, or you just like to try new inks/colors, the samples from Goulet are a wonderful and inexpensive way to experience a variety of inks.

FAQs about Ink Sample Package Sets

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.

Can I substitute a color in this set? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We are unable to make substitutions in any of our ink sample sets.
