The Well Appointed Desk - Col-O-Ring ink book

The paper is a bit rougher on one side than the other.
All ink properties such as shading, shimmer or sheen show up well and the size is exactly right.

Really like this product. It's thinner than I expected but ink doesn't bleed through it and I also haven't experienced any feathering.

I don't use the cards on the ring though. I keep my cards in a card holder booklet because I prefer the cards to be flat.

I was very pleased with my order.

The Col o ring is just as advertised, I am more impressed by the fantastic service provided by Fontoplumo!

I picked up a few of these when I was in the store a little while ago and I still love using them as a swatch/organizing tool for my inks. The paper is wonderful (its watercolor paper made by a local mill near Ana of the WAD!) and it shows the properties of the ink quite well. Esp handy if you like using inks in your artwork! I also love that you can, through Fontoplumo, support a small maker that brought so much wealth of information into the hobby :)

Nice way to keep track of all the inks you tried. The paper is good, and you can sort them the way you want, on color or brand.

It is a excellent idea to keep all the inks collected and the paper is perfect for that job!

It's a simple ring with a bunch of swatch cards, and in that it's exactly what it claims to be. It's all well-made, feels solid, and makes it easy to compare colours, organise them in whichever way you wish, or just display your collection in an aesthetically-pleasing manner (or at least it is for me!). If anything I just wish the paper was a smidge less textured, but that's just personal preference. In all reality though I'm very much pleased with this, and will no-doubt buy another once the one I'm using right now is full.
