The Wearingeul Ink Encyclopedia is a compact swatch notebook designed specifically for fountain pen ink users who want to organize and track their collection. Made by Wearingeul, it comes in a small square format (100 × 100 mm) that’s easy to carry, with a clean and functional layout focused on recording ink details rather than general writing.
Each of the 70 single-sided sheets is made from 200gsm “Impression” paper, which is designed to show ink properties clearly, including shading, sheen, and color variation. The pages often include printed bottle illustrations and space to note the ink name, brand, and personal impressions, turning each page into a small record of how the ink behaves rather than just how it looks.
In use, it opens completely flat thanks to its wire-bound design, making it easy to swatch inks neatly. It’s not meant for long-form writing, but as a dedicated tool for testing and cataloging inks. Over time, it becomes more like a personal reference book, especially useful if you regularly try new inks or want to compare how different inks perform on the same paper.
