1200 Inks!

We have surpassed 1200 inks! We actually hit 1259 inks yesterday so this post is horribly late. It’s starting to feel like fall so I’m reaching for more autumnal tones: wine reds, warm browns, and golden yellows. I had a really hard time deciding on my favorite inks this time, so some colors have way more than others.

The rules: the inks have to have been in the first 1200 ink reviews. They have to be my current favorites in that color, meaning the ones I use the most often. My favorites change often, so these are the ones I have used the most in the last month.

Black

• Monteverde Documental Black

• Sailor Jentle Black

• Platinum Carbon Black

• Pilot Iroshizuku Take-sumi
