On Wednesday (7\/20\/22), I finished my new ink notebook and shared a video<\/a> on Instagram<\/a> and Goulet Pen Co’s Facebook group, Goulet Nation<\/a>. The Gouletians \u2014 I think that’s what they’ve decided we’re calling ourselves \u2014 were over the moon and had so many questions and comments, I decided to write up a quick blog post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, as I mentioned in my last ink catalog post<\/a>, this format \u2014 I’m going to call it ink trading cards \u2014 isn’t my idea. Most pen stores use it at pen shows. I really enjoyed the versatility of ink trading cards \u2014 you can rearrange the swatches to add and remove colors as you buy new bottles or get rid of old ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The main differences to my version of ink trading cards and what you see on tables at pen shows is the size of the book and the type of paper used for the swabs. More on both in a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell Us What You Used!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In case the video linked above is enough for you to make your own ink trading card book \u2014 should you want to \u2014 here’s a list of the supplies I used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
