I discovered a few Wish-List colors

I am a Crayola bright colors kind of gal. This surprise mix was half serious colors for business with blacks, blues, and browns. There were also fun colors I might not have ordered a sample of, but getting to play with Diamine Pink Glitz and Sailor Shikiori Yozakura, I found two colors to add to my wish list for when I place my next order. A great Birthday treat! Thank you Goulet Pens!!

Got them free

I got a code to get a free set, the colors provided included some of the inks I have actually wanted to try so it worked out nicely for me.

Good selection

I like the random ink selection because they selected inks I would not have thought to buy or try samples of. Even if I would not have selected them I like the idea of at least testing them out. An example is whiskey brown copper by de atremantis. Maybe not a color I would use regularly but I will definitely try it.

Always find these fun!

I've got some cool samples in these. Early in my pen career I think I bought 3 or 4 and only got like 2 or 3 duplicates over all the samples. As a new person these are great. Lots of different colors to try and see what you like. After getting a few I'd suggest picking your own samples as you develop a taste for more specific colors.

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.

What's your return policy for ink samples? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We do not accept returns for ink that has been used. Otherwise, we accept returns on unused ink products for up to 30 days from purchase. You can read all our Return Policies here.
