I Love Browns!

It was great being able to get samples of browns instead of having to get full bottles. I had just received a new Visconti Medici Fountain Pen - Briarwood Yellow Gold and wanted the perfect ink to highlight the pen. By having 6 samples to choose from, I was able to pick the Diamine Chocolate Brown as the perfect color. Many thanks for letting me have the ability to select the right color at an inexpensive cost.

So many shades of brown!

I purchased the 5-sample set & have 5 more I want to try. I appreciate you offering samples. I have purchased full size ink bottles in the past that end up donating. Samples are more fun & much cheaper until I find the 'one'.

Great for indecisive buyers

A bottle of ink can be a big money and time investment, and these samples really let you single out your favorite(s). Really appreciate this service from Goulet Pens. Next time I'm torn between a few different colors or types, I'll definitely be purchasing a sample to try out a few and pick my favorite(s).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you. 

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

No. We are unable to make substitutions in any of our ink sample sets.

All of our ink samples are also available for purchase separately.

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.
