    Default New online ink comparison tool

    Just today Anderson Pens launched a new ink color comparison tool that supposedly will make it a bit easier to compare inks side-by-side: Link to tool

    It's pretty easy and rather fun to use

    Here's what a quick selection of purples (out of like 30+ options) looks like.
    I like that it shows properties/price next to the inks as well.
    I can see this being rather useful.

    I like it a lot.

    The time it took to do it must have been enormous. I know they were working on the cards for quite some time. Then loading them all in and setting up the backend .. many many hours.

    The books they bring to the shows are great. They had the new updated ones in Atlanta and it was excellent. I looked at some of the colors I use regularly and found they matched up spot on.

    If you are at a show they are easy to find lol.. Anderson Ave. takes up a whole row usually. But look for the books below by the ink display. Amazing!

    Good thing; I especially appreciate the ink notes in addition to the colour comparison.

    very cool tool

    I have a little trouble seeing the differences of blue-blacks (the swabs don't show gradients), and the squiggle samples are all fine lines, but this is useful for what it is.
