A gray rainbow

I'm going to buy a bottle of this. Lovely gray, dark enough to be sensible, all sorts of pinks,purples, and greens show up in a subtle way. I ordered it for my Kaweco Sport, the new model for spring, and it matches nicely. Glad I tried it!

Fun ink

This ink is a beautiful one for ink drawing. It shades well and changes color depending on the media used, occasionally coming out with a blue center and a bright aquamarine penumbra on very absorbent paper. In pens, it is a light blue or perhaps grey purple, or a pinkish blue, or...

Great

Great pen. Learned about it on unsharpen.com and had to buy. Glad I got it from Goulet!

Lovely

This is my favorite of the crazy shading grays. It's really pretty and has a halo on several types of paper, while still being just dark enough to be readable. This ink behaved well for me. I wish it was a tiny bit less dry, but I tend to like super juicy inks, so it's probably great for 95% of people.

Beautiful color, well-behaved

This ink is a lovely, complex blue-green-gray color. It's well-behaved, and less dry than some other Sailor inks I have tried (like Haha) - it starts flowing easily. Even in a fine Sailor nib, I get nice shading and color variation.

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.
