Then a second color appears across the heavier strokes—pink over blue, green over purple, copper over blue, and other wonderfully improbable combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSheen Explorer Ink Sample Box\u003c\/strong\u003e is an easy way to explore that dramatic corner of the ink shelf without buying seven full bottles first. Each box includes seven different 3mL sheening fountain pen ink samples, chosen to provide a real range of base colors and sheen colors—not seven nearly identical blue inks with pink sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExact inks may change as inventory changes, but every selection will be chosen for visible sheen in ordinary writing.

Smooth, fountain-pen-friendly paper and a wet medium, broad, or stub nib will reveal the strongest effect. With an extra-fine nib or absorbent copy paper, expect to see more of the base color and less of the second-color sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighly saturated sheening inks can take longer to dry, may smear even after they appear dry, and sometimes require a little extra rinsing when you clean your pen. That fussiness is part of the bargain—but so is watching an ordinary line of writing change color when you tilt the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want a wider assortment of colors and properties, try the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bottleandplume.com\/products\/fountain-pen-ink-sample-mystery-box\"\u003eClassic Explorer Ink Sample Box\u003c\/a\u003e.
