Mixing CMYK Private Reserve Fountain Pen Ink

Mixing Inks Together – Color Mix Chart

Join me for a calm, easygoing look at mixing CMYK fountain pen inks with some Private Reserve colors. I show how I use small sample vials to keep things clean, plus simple tools like glass droppers and a watercolor brush to make mixing and testing smooth and fun. We play with different ratios to see how the colors shift—perfect if you love experimenting with inks.
