💛🩷🩵🖤 Mixing CMYK Private Reserve Fountain Pen Ink! Calm tutorial, tips & ratio mixing how to guides.

✨
This time we have some wonderful inks from Private Reserve to do our mixing with! I walk through my process for mixing fountain pen inks, starting with small sample vials to avoid contamination and make handling easier. I use tools like reusable glass droppers and a watercolor brush for easier mixing and application, testing different ratios to observe color shifts. Enjoy!

Mixing Disclaimer from Private Reserve: “Yes — you can mix Private Reserve fountain pen inks to create your own custom color. Many fountain pen enthusiasts enjoy experimenting this way. That said, please keep in mind that any issues or damage resulting from mixed inks would be the responsibility of the user, as results can vary depending on the colors, ratios, and even the pen model being used.”

You can check out all the colors and lines over at the Private Reserve site: https://privatereserveink.com/
