If you live for the thrill of a new ink swatch but don’t want a shelf full of half-used bottles—or another monthly charge hitting your credit card—our Prepaid Ink Sample Plan is your perfect match. Unlike typical subscriptions, this is a one-time purchase. You choose the length of time that is right for you (1, 3, or 6 months), pay once, and we handle the rest. No recurring fees, no recurring shipping cost (its included in the prepaid price), no surprise charges—just pure ink-filled joy delivered to your door each month.
 
Choose Your Prepaid Plan
Every plan includes five 3ml vials of fountain pen ink per month—labeled so you can find your full-bottle favorites later. 3ml is enough to fill about 5 short standard fountain pen converters.
