Here’s a link to photos of some of my calligraphy practice and experiments with sheening inks on Tomoe River paper.

There’s also a photo of my test-tube rack of samples. We in the fountain pen community often swap sample-vials of ink, because a full bottle can be quite expensive, and takes a long time to use up. A 5 ml. sample is enough for a couple of fills, to see if you like it.

I’ve used inks from Australia, the Netherlands, Poland, England, France, Germany, and Japan, as well as American and Canadian, and vintage inks—including one that’s 80 years old.
