Great Inks!

These are some really good purples. Very new to the fountain pen hobby, so I'm really glad this website has an option to get samples. In order to try out inks in the real world instead of only going off pictures.

Great sample set

I love the sample set. Always great colour choices. Now I have to decide which one or two I like best. Thank you for making those available. It is so helpful.

Genius idea, gorgeous colors, adorable execution

So fun!!! I love being able to switch shades every couple of weeks without having to do a deep clean of my pen.

Wonderful purple selections. Head's up on the R&K iron-gall, though.

Goulet has come up with a very colorful selection of purples I will enjoy. The set arrived today. Just by chance, my first selection was the Rohrer & Klingner (German brand) 'Scabiosa' color ink. I was not sure what 'Scabiosa' meant, so I went to Goulet's writeup on that ink and also did some additional research. I learned that Scabiosa is a purple flower. And I learned that this particular ink is an iron-gall ink, meant as a more permanent, water-resistant ink � and one that should not be in a pen for more than a week. I will flush mine out later tonight, probably. I would recommend that Goulet warn the consumer about Scabiosa being an iron-gall to prevent potential pen corrosion. Other than that, I think I have a great selection of purples.

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
