Fountain Pen Inks: A Sampler
by Gregory E. Clark. The author amassed a collection of over 77 current (at the time of writing) production fountain pen inks. As part of his procedure to while testing and cataloging these inks, he painted samples of each onto paper. These labeled samples formed a little book that he used as a reference when selecting inks for daily use. Several friends found this a delightful idea and encouraged him to make this sampler available to others. This booklet has evolved out of the author’s interest and work with inks. He wished to point out that these samples were correct at the time of applying them to these pages. Ink colors change some with age, the type and color of paper on which they are used, nib width and with manufacturers formula changes. With this in mind, I have tried to show a light and dark sample of each ink to simulate “dry” and “wet” writing pens. You can record your own personal favorites on the page provided in the back. This “sampler” is the very best way for a pen lover to see the wide range of wonderful ink colors available without spending large sums of money. 15 pages. Soft cover. Copyright 1996. Excellent condition. This is a singed copy. – Book 2,621
