Finally swatching fountain pen inks, they look good like this
(they're way more saturated on the image compared than in reality)

The #swatching looks beautiful for sure! Can you tell me, please, how did you create this "frame" around the #ink ? It worked out really well.
I love #Diamine inks, but I don't use them much these days because they are difficult by now to get locally (I'm living in Germany) and I prefer that above shipping whenever possible. But alas, it's always nice to see their current inks and I am glad people such as you share theirs here on Mastodon!

Thanks!
I used these swatch papers, there's a part around the paper that doesn't absorb ink
Never found them in physical store sadly, but I'm in France so maybe you'll have more luck

This is honestly fascinating, I would have never expected there would be a dedicated product for doing ink swatches... was I living under a rock, or is this a new thing? o:

I see. I am into this for… oh my, I am back into writing with fountain pens for more than a decade now. I am using them daily, but I am not often look into supplies other than ink and usable paper, I guess. But be that as it may, you found it first and showed me, and therefor thank you! c:
