Private Reserve Ink was founded by Terry W. Johnson and Susan Schube in the workroom of Avalon Jewelers/Gallery in Zionsville, IN, as an addition to the fountain pen department. Terry's vision was simple... "Why not have fountain pen ink in a rainbow of colors to expand the bounds of writing beyond standard black, blue, red and green." 

In January 2018 Darla Aniline bought the company and now Private Reserve Inks are the only Woman owned Fountain Pen ink company. Darla contiues the original vision of the founders but with more more attention to detail and customer service. With 52 different colors the only problem one might have is which of them do you choose. 

Currently, the brand is owned and operated by the Yafa company of Canoga Park California.
