This has been quite a delight to ink collectors although it is also a curse to completionist collectors who just need to have each color. Sailor Studio inks are available in a standard line of 100 separate inks. Although each…
Review by Laura Cameron I feel like I made my love of purple clear last year, so I was relatively unsurprised when Jesi sent me some samples of purple inks she has acquired recently.
