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

To me the best swatch cards ever!

Swatch cards on a ring, easy to organize, take out and compare. I swatch my inks both directly with a dip pen, and I put a tiny drop of ink in some water applied with a water brush to see some of the chromatography. The paper handles water well!

It's very nice paper that's defenitly fountain pen friendly. One side is textured/toothy the other more smooth. I used the textured side because I found it showed the ink properties like shading and sheen slightly better.

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.
