This week is the public unveiling of the Karas Vertex Fountain Pen and the new Blackwing Volumes 42. Ferris Wheel Press also unveiled new ink colors. Pantone also released 112 new colors in its palette though those are more “virtual” color as they are formulas and digital chips.
I guess the summer lull is over and the push to the end of the year had officially started. Next stop, planner mayhem!
