Dive into a fresh batch of fountain pen ink samples sourced from a unique community find on the subreddit. (r/pen_swap) This session features a deep dive into swatching and cataloging rare, exclusive, and discontinued inks, including limited editions from Sailor Manyo, Amarillo Stationery and Wearingeul. We explore chromoshading properties, shimmer details, and "dupe testing" against an existing ink collection to decide which colors earn a full bottle and which are just passing through.
