The quarantine has given a lot of fountain pen enthusiasts time to catalog and swatch their inks. One of the most commonly used ink swatching books is the Col-o-ring Ink Testing Book by The Well-Appointed Desk.
Creating swatches, though fun, take a bit more time and can get messy sometimes. If you are looking for another way to swatch inks, The Well Appointed Desk has your back!
Ana, the Chair behind the Desk, announced their latest product, The Col-o-ring Dipper!
Yes, what you see is what you get. The “fun size” Col-o-ring is designed so that you can simple dunk the paper in a bottle of ink. Voila! You have created a new ink swatch. Compared to the original Col-o-ring, the Dipper has fewer sheets and squared off corners.
Each Col-o-ring Dipper contains (info from their website)
- 50 – 1″ x 2.5″ sheets with square corners
- slightly toothy paper but not enough to catch even the sharpest dip nib
- sturdy chipboard covers letterpress printed with a crisp application of “afterburner” black
- durable painted metal ball chain
Where can you get these?
