The luckiest thing about having my own small business is that I get to sell my favorite products. And this is one of them…the Col-o-ring OVERSIZE Ink Testing book from Ana Reinert at the Well Appointed Desk!

Here is what Ana says about these stellar oversize swatchers:

With the combined efforts of The Well-Appointed Desk and Skylab Letterpress, we put our heads together to create THE PERFECT INK TESTING BOOK, The Col-o-ring.

But how can you improve on the perfect ink testing book?

You OVERSIZE it.
You make it larger - almost 250% larger sheet size
You make it slimmer - but 80 square inches (per book) more paper than the Col-o-ring
You give it a durable spiral binding - like one big loopy ring!

Same great paper.

The Col-o-ring OVERSIZE.
Perfect for ink and all your mixed media needs.

Each A6-sized Col-o-ring OVERSIZE contains:
• 4”x 5.5” with die cut rounded corners
• 40 sheets of 100lb/160gsm acid-free bright, natural white, European paper
• slightly toothy paper but not enough to catch even the sharpest dip nib
• sturdy chipboard covers letterpress printed with a crisp application of "afterburner" black
• durable plastic spiral ring, perfect for back pockets or backpacks.

Paper has been rigorously tested to ensure that inks will not not feather, bleed or show through with a variety of wet or dry media.

Col-o-ring OVERSIZE are printed, assembled and designed in Kansas City. Paper was sourced from a local distributor.
