Wow, I thought the swatches were way off, but that final writing sample was amazingly close. Don’t worry about the chaos. That’s part of the fun of fountain pens!
I've been using Goose Poupon as a dupe for a while now because I only bought a small bottle of Ina Ho and I didn't want to use it up. Kobe 22 is close too.
You can mix a bit of Diamine Raw Sienna to the Rohrer & Klingner Alt Goldgrün. If it‘s to saturated add a bit of distilled water. This way you can adjust, how green or brown you like your personal Ina-ho to be. ❤ Andrea
I love Ina-Ho, now that is discontinued I’ve found the best replacements to be Noodler’s Rome Burning and Robert Oster Khaki… all others I’ve found to be too green or too dark
good job! i'm not really interested in getting a dupe for Ina-Ho, but I did enjoy seeing other inks in that color family. Sailor Ink Studio 280 is calling my name! :D
I tried a Reddit formulation by r/fountainpens and its my dupe now using the same brand of ink as Ina ho, so it made sense - 10 drops of Pilot Iroshizuku Yu yake, 4 drops Chikarin and 1 drop Syo ro. Love it!
We’re all looking for a dupe for Ina-ho. That’s how you know Iroshizuku needs to bring this ink back! Thanks for the video!

For me I find swatches to be useless for how ink looks when written on a page. They are pretty to look at..
Thank you so much for this! I was intrigued by Ina-ho, and then it went away before I could try it. I really appreciate your careful testing.

Hmm, I hadn't tried those yet.

I’ve never tried Ina-ho so this might be wrong, but it looks a lot like Robert Oster Gold Antiqua.

Thanks!!
I've been on a search for about a year for a dupe and the closest I've found is stormwater runoff by birmingham pen Co.
Do you mind sharing where your swatch stand is from?
It a vial holder from FountainPENdulum on IG. They have great products!
