My Fountain Pen Inking Process

Ah, I'm posting this one from my phone instead of the computer. so short description for now :) enjoy.
IG video referenced is up by the way and I'm really thrilled with it if you'd like to give it a watch. www.instagram....

Love the cute pastel colors! I might want to get that green for my FWP morningside mint, but I need a nib that will write wet!!! That ferris wheel press ink is way too dry xD

You make a good point, some nibs struggle with FWP ink I've found. Generally my TWSBI nibs all perform really well and medium and thicker from Kaweco have done well. I will say, the FWP brush fountain pen writes *beautifully* with their inks. Even the fine nib flows like an absolute dream. The ones I didn't like were Sailor's steel MF nib, which I think is just too much feedback unless you get a good wet ink. And J. Herbin's rollerball, which I just tested out in an IG Reel and it really shows how dry it is. (Which might need more testing, it could just be the rollerball.)

I'm swooning over those Ferris Wheel Press swatches. I'm trying not to run out and buy the cute swatch cards. If I stray from the color-ring cards, I'll use the "tile" system @ChrisSaenz13 uses because how an ink behaves under a clear wash is important to how I use them.

Thank you! I didn't know about the col-o-ring system until just recently but the ring that comes with these ones I have is plastic and flimsy and I don't entirely love the quality of the print job on these because it seems like it's sort of oily (it bleeds into a oil-stain looking situation where the ink gets really wet, I'm not sure why.)
I don't think I'll rebuy these ones, or recommend them officially to anyone, but I'll keep using it because I have it and it really does the job (just in a not-quite attractive way.)
All that said - I really like how @gingerpeachy has their Col-o-dex system set up (they shared a little of it on instagram and just posted a video today) and I have a set of those on their way to me since we talked about it last week. I also bought a used rolodex box on ebay (because I prefer an enclosed flat set up to the flip/round system.) I want to do a system similar to what she uses and just keep these little ones as a quick desk reference for my inked pens.
But I do want to look up the tile system you're talking about, because I'm always interested in ways I can elevate my process to work better for me.
