Every ink lover has a shelf of bottles they bought on a recommendation, a review, or a swatch - and regretted. The colour was off. The shading wasn't there. The flow didn't suit your nib. It happens to all of us.
A 2ml sample costs a fraction of the full bottle and gives you enough ink to fill your pen and genuinely try it. That's the whole idea.
A sample costs £1.75–£3.00. A bottle is £10–£35. Try before you buy.
Swatches don't show shading or sheen. Real ink on real paper does.
Ink behaves differently on different paper. Try it on yours before committing.
Pilot Iroshizuku, Sailor, Wearingeul - sample the expensive bottles before you commit.
Every sample arrives in a 2ml plastic vial - enough to fill most standard converters at least once, giving you a real chance to test the ink in actual use rather than just a quick dab on paper.
Each vial is filled by hand from the source bottle on the day your order is packed. We don't store pre-filled vials. Your ink is fresh every time.
Every ink is priced individually on what its full bottle costs us - so a £9 bottle of Diamine is never charged at the same rate as a £35 bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku. You only ever pay for what's in the vial.
