Ink sample survey - which ink should I review next?


It's always a bummer to decide which ink from my collection of samples to review next. Sometimes I prefer green, other times brown, and so on. But recently I decided it might be a good idea to ask my readers what would they like to see first.

I have 26 ink samples remaining and I'm pretty sure not all are appealing to everyone equally. Here they are:

(Update: I have crossed out the ones which I have already reviewed)

If you see anything that strikes your fancy, vote for it in this Google Docs survey I created.

I have already received some votes (having announced this first on Twitter) but I will run this survey for a few weeks until I gather enough votes to make one or more inks stand out.

In the meantime I have one more bottled ink to review, so stay tuned for that. Thanks for voting!

  1. I voted for one where I have that brand but not the color you are showing so I thought it would be interesting to see what you think of the qualities of that ink and how they compare to the color I have. :-)

  2. I knew you would jump on this :) I just hope I can get enough votes to make it an easy decision.
