Other Excellent Digital Ink Samplers and Reviews:

FPN Ink Reviews There are literally thousands of FPN members and many contribute reviews to this site!

The Writing Desk Color -O-Rama A pen and ink store with a very nice ink scan comparison feature.


Useful Ink Articles:


Ink Mixing by Limner (From her post on The Fountain Pen Network)

Richard Binder, "Inks: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" can be found on his reference page.

Nathan Tariff, "Noodler's pH Test" There are several other interesting pages on the Noodler's site, but I especially like this one.


Paper Ink Samplers


Glen Clark's Ink Sampler's final edition was in 2006. It's a veritable ink bible which is well worth purchasing if you can find a copy. It contains several appendices, including a reprint of his Stylus magazine 2005 "Slime in the Bottle" article.


FPN member Michael Richter has offered custom ink sampler's in the past. Unfortunately, his site is currently down as of (8/31/10.) I understand he is looking for a new web host. However, here is a link to his FPN profile.
