Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

wonderful color.

Pretty but difficult to read

This is a beautiful color with nice shading. It's a little browner than the swatch appears on my screen. More than anything, it reminds me of the colors of wheat, both the lights and the darks. It would be gorgeous for drawing or painting with. Unfortunately, it's a little too light for comfortable reading, so it may not be the best ink for writing.

Love this pen!

Love the pen, the color I chose and the fun I'm having creating with it. The visual instruction should have just a bit of narrative to go with it...

Gentle Brown

I like having different shades of my ink, for my various pens. This brown/gold color will be just right for when I don't need a strong deep brown!
