Pink ink for 2024

Love the color of this ink. It is my accent color to go with KWZ Brown Pink that I chose for 2024's fountain pen ink in my Hobonichi Hon.

I wanted to love this ink

I wanted to love this ink, but it is very dry and hard to use. It seems lighter on paper. I was using Tomoe paper. I was hoping to find the right pink shade, but this ink is not it.

The colour of my favourite English rose!

I just love this ink. I utilise colour as much as words to help convey my message in personal letters. This one is appropriate when you want your words to whisper. This soft colour is so evocative of my favourite English rose that I can almost smell its delicate rose and myrrh scent. I noted more than one reviewer thought it a highlighting ink. This may be a bit of a niche ink for those who enjoy pastel inks. This one shades so beautifully in my vintage flexible nibbed fountain pen, but would make a lovely highlighting ink for those of you who find it too pale for writing. In a clean empty sample bottle I put 7 parts Bouquet d'Antan to 2 parts Gris Nuage and 1 part Larmes Cassis for a letter to an elderly person I thought might find reading the original colour a bit difficult. They commented how beautifully the colour looked with my handwriting, a honed version of vintage Copperplate. Do beware, it is not water resistant. This leaves perhaps only a small contingent who will gratefully utilise it for its beauty of colour, fast drying time and its marvelous shading attributes. Thank you Goulet for stocking this lovely shade by Herbin.

Very different

This is a very weird, VERY light rose pink color. I almost want to say it has low saturation, but if you use a broader nib it will shade very nicely. For example, I am currently using it in a Lamy broad nib, and the color varies from light pink to dark pink. Lighter-colored inks like Noodler's Polar Purple and Blue Nose Bear appeal to me for some reason, and this color certainly did as well. I don't often go for pink, however this one is just so...different. If you are looking for a true, solid pink then try Diamine Hope Pink. But this one... I have been racking my brain to come up with the right word to describe it, but I think I would say it is like a memory: not real, yet profoundly meaningful for the owner. That may not make sense, but suffice to say that any romantic note written with this ink is something I would keep in a special place.

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.
