{"product_id":"van-diemans-world-oceans-arctic-king-crab-4ml-fountain-pen-ink-sample","title":"World Oceans - Arctic: King Crab - 4ml Fountain Pen Ink Sample","description":"A northern red forged in cold water, with depth beneath its surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKing Crab draws on the formidable crustacean that prowls the cold northern seabed, carrying the weight of iron-rich shells and the saturated reds of Arctic marine life, tempered by its icy environment. The base is a deep crimson-rose that shifts toward wine in heavier applications. On Tomoe River a subtle green sheen gathers along pooled edges in organic outlines that echo a crab's segmented shell, glowing more vividly in direct sun. On Rhodia Dotgrid it reads richer and earthier with a velvety finish. Assertive yet refined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry before you commit to a full bottle. Each sample is hand-decanted into a 4ml glass vial with a screw-top cap and a labelled colour name, so you can test the shading, sheen, and flow in your own pens on your own paper first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a shimmer ink. Shake gently before each fill, and use it only in fountain pens that can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Dip pens and brushes are always a safe bet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume: 4ml glass sample vial\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Van Dieman's World Oceans\u003cbr\u003eBase colour: Deep crimson-rose shifting to wine\u003cbr\u003eShimmer: Delicate shimmer, textural rather than sparkling\u003cbr\u003eSheen: Subtle green sheen\u003cbr\u003eDye-based, water-based ink\u003cbr\u003eDecanted in-house from a full 40ml bottle\u003cbr\u003eHandmade in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA perfect way to build a swatch library or fill an ink-sample flight.
