Fountain pen ink is one of the joys of using and collecting fountain pens. There are hundreds of different fountain pen shades available. So, when you use a fountain pen, you can write with a completely unique and original color.
If you’ve been using fountain pens for awhile you might have noticed that in the fountain pen world there’s not a blue or a black ink. There are dozens or even hundreds of shades on each color. That brings unlimited choices and challenges to express your own uniqueness.
With this in mind, we created original fountain pen ink samples. Each person has his own preferences and needs. With that in mind, we decided to offer the flexibility you need to test or collect fountain pen ink.
Should You Buy Fountain Pen Ink Samples?
Some people prefer to collect full-sized fountain pen ink bottles. Others, prefer to buy ink samples to test an ink before they spend more money in a full bottle. Still others, prefer to collect fountain pen ink samples.
A full bottle will always be cheaper per ml. An ink sample will always be cheaper than a full-sized bottle. The problem with full-sized ink bottles is that they can get expensive, and they do take a lot of space. Ink samples allow you to test and collect hundreds of different fountain pen ink samples.
To allow you to choose exactly the amount of ink you need, we created fountain pen ink samples in 3 different sizes.
One Ink, Many Fountain Pen Ink Samples Options
We’re the only website offering ink samples in 3 different sizes. This gives you unparalleled flexibility to test and collect fountain pen ink.
#1: 2ml Ink Sample
Perfect for those who want to test a new ink before they commit to a full bottle or a larger ink sample. 2ml is enough to fill a small standard international fountain pen cartridge 4 times. These are the most affordable way to test new fountain pen ink.
#2: 3ml Ink Sample
3ml offers a pretty good balance between testing and collecting. 3ml is usually enough for most people to deeply test an ink and is also attractable to ink collectors.
For some people, 3ml of ink lasts a long time. If you don’t use much ink and collect dozens or even hundreds of ink samples, a 3ml fountain pen ink sample can last you for years.
#3: 5ml Ink Sample
The 5ml fountain pen ink sample is for fountain pen ink collectors and those that need larger quantities of ink.
A 5ml ink sample offers a perfect opportunity to collect large ml of ink for a fraction of a full ink bottle price.

How To Use An Ink Sample
You can fill a fountain pen converter out of any of the ink vials. It’s as simple as removing the converter from the pen, insert it into the vial, and twist the converter to get the ink in it. Then place the converter back into the pen, and release a little bit of ink into the nib.
Another way to fill a converter or a cartridge is by using a syringe. Fill your syringe, and then refill your empty cartridges or ink converters.
If you’re using an eyedropper pen, you can still fill it with a syringe, or you might use a transfer pipette. The process is simple and clean.
If you prefer to keep your converter on the pen, or if you use a piston fill fountain pen, you can use a 5ml empty vial as an inkwell.
In that case, fill your empty vial with ink, and use it as an inkwell to refill your pen.
What’s the best method? The best method is e one you prefer or feel more comfortable with.
