In this video, I show and give you my first Impressions of the Wearingeul Ink Color Swatch Card Binder (Transparent) and the Wearingeul Ink Swatch Cards: Smile Cat and Horizontal Bottled. I purchased these items from Dromgoole's here in Texas:
dromgooles.com/products/wearingeul-ink-color-swatch-card-binder-transparent
The binder holds the standard business card size cards (90x50 mm) it has 40 pages and holds 240 cards.
The Cat Smile cards come in sets of 50 and the Horizontal Bottled come in sets of 100 cards.
I use a variety of methods to catalog my inks including a Col-O-Ring for all my bottled inks (and previously I swatched every ink sample that came in one Col-O-Ring cards from The Well Appointed Desk. I also use 3x3 inch Watercolor cards (I cut these) 300 g - 140 pound watercolor paper from Canson to swatch and water test each ink I am using. I have 3 file boxes full of those tiles and a box of Col-O-Ring cards from previous samples.
This new system is just for fun and experimenting. The main attraction is being able to re-arrange them easily for comparison and for easy organizing.

Thank you so much for watching. I hope this helps if you were looking for a compact little binder for your ink swatches! One could even cut the Col-O-Ring cards at the hole punch and they would fit in the binder too.
