Fountain Pen Ink Swatch Journal
Explore my growing collection of fountain pen ink swatches, featuring a variety of colors, brands, and specialty inks.
Each ink is tested on Midori MD Cream paper using a Pilot Iro-Utsushi dip pen with a fine nib (F). I created this journal to see how fountain pen inks actually look in everyday writing, since broader nibs and traditional ink swatches don't always reflect what you'll see with a finer nib.
Browse the collection to discover new inks, compare colors, and see how different inks behave on paper.
