This has been such a fun notebook to track my ink colors. No bleed through and made well.

I got this for myself and all the ink samples that I have collected. The paper is nice- even with big ol' drips from the ink- paper saturates, but does not bleed/soak through to the back. lots of space to write if you write large.

Great value.

I've filled two pages of this notebook so far and have had no problems with bleeding or anything. Plus it is very cute!

I was using a different notebook for ink swatches, but when I saw this I had to get it! I'm so happy I did the paper is nice and thick it shows the sheening and shimmer beautifully. Some inks take a bit to dry but even with a heavy pool of ink there's no bleed thru

I have both the colo-ring and just got this book for sampling inks and this book is the best! I liked the colo-ring but the card stock was too absorbent to really show off the finer aspects of the inks. Also, I got annoyed with how fiddly all those cards were. Especially when the ring came open by accident. This book's card stock is not quite as absorbent, but also not so coated that it takes forever to dry. The sheen/shimmer/shading aspects of inks are so much clearer on this card stock compared to the other product. That really makes a difference to me. It's not just the good aspects though, but I do have a couple inks that feather a little, and that showed up too. I also like to know which inks are going to take longer to dry with my juicier pens and this card stock also shows that when I put down enough ink that it takes a minute or two to dry. I think I filled up half my book with my samples. :) At this great price, I think I'll pick up a spare and one as a gift! Highly recommend.

A great way to catalog my ink collection. This was easy to use, the paper is of great quality and has room for a lot more of my inks! I’m up to 70!

Never thought I'd get into swatches but it looked like fun. Gave it a try and glad I did. I did get a quality glass dip pen to write with the ink. I'll never use all of the pages. Good quality paper.

Great way to document my inks. Reasonably priced and very good quality!

I have a feeling I will be filling this book up before too long. I love getting the sample surprises and this book will help me to know which full bottles I need to purchase

Love it

We are always looking forward to putting the next ink in

Excellent way for me to keep track of my inks!

This notebook feels like a tailor-made stage for inks. The pages are crisp, the size (A5) just right for portability without compromise. It doesn’t try to be fancy — it just does the job: holding ink, showing color, staying flat.

When you lay ink down, the colors pop, you see their true voice, not a muted echo. Feathering and bleed-through are kept in check, so your swatches don’t turn into smudgy regrets. It’s not a showpiece; it’s a tool. One ink-lover’s canvas, silent but full of stories waiting to be told.

This works perfectly for me so that I can see at a glance what inks I have.

It was the best thing for me because I just got started on exploring fountain pen ink.

I love that for the color swatch it actually is put in a bottle on paper instead of just a blank page

This is such a beautiful and perfect swatch book! I bought it for my boyfriend and he totally loves it. Thanks, Goulet Pens!

I was keeping a page in my notebook's I dec for the inks I've tried and which pages I used them on. Now, I have a whole notebook I can use to document the different inks that I can more easily reference than indices in multiple journals.

Paper quality is amazing

Just what I was looking for. Thanks

A very neat, convenient sized notebook that's perfect for recording with swatches all of the different inks I've collected... Each smooth, heavy stock page has 9 empty bottles imprinted on it that are available to fill in with colorful ink samples. ~IMO it's perfect collector's obsessive fun, and it reminds me of the stamp collectors book I once had as a kid.

Great quality paper for getting a good color sample on and a very simply design to organize your favorite colors or just log all the different ink colors you've tried. Love this and am looking forward to filling it up

Just the thing I needed for my ink swatches. It’s a lot of fun and helps me keep track of my colors.

As I found myself being drawn into the hobby more and more, I realized that the numerous ink manufacturers and colors I was attracted to were becoming difficult to keep track of. This notebook seemed like the perfect condensed system to catalog the inks I find most attractive and expressive for various writing situations. It is convenient and serves as a quick guide to a more detailed ink journal which I intend to establish.

With nine bottles per page this will probably hold samples enough to last me a while.

The paper inside is thick enough to swatch whichever ink you would like to see.
