Col-o-ring Ink Testing Book

Let’s get Col-o-ring– everyone’s favourite ink testing books are here at last! The Well-Appointed Desk and Skylab Letterpress painstakingly searched high and low to find a replacement paper stock for swatchbooks after a popular range of Japanese flash cards used by the community went out of stock. After months of testing, the Col-o-ring Ink Testing Book was launched with a fun retro-inspired design and 100 pages of the nicest, ink-friendliest paper out there!

• easily portable 2″ x 4″ (5.08cm x 10.16cm) sheets with die cut rounded corners
• 100 sheets of 100lb/160gsm European paper from a 400-year-old mill
• acid-free bright, natural white paper
• paper is slightly toothy but not enough to catch even the sharpest dip nib
• sturdy chipboard covers letterpress printed with a crisp application of “afterburner” black ink
• handy split ring so pages can be removed, rearranged and reinserted as needed

This paper has been rigorously tested to ensure that fountain pen inks will not feather, bleed or show through. Inks can be applied with fountain pen, glass pen, dip pen, cotton swabs or paintbrush on the front or back of each sheet.
Col-o-ring Ink Testing Books are printed, assembled and designed in Kansas City, USA.
