These are so hard to get in the US. I would love to have a coffee scented ink!

Google is your friend:

But shipping is ridicolously high....

Yeah, I have looked at the website but shipping is a non-starter.

I know... 38 or 32€ was it - that is expensive... you wonder if it cmes with a representative who asks if you are happy with the bottles...

 

 

You would possibly have to team up wth someone - or get a local pen shop interested in buying a lot of ink...

You could try importing from Canada: Stylus Fine Pens (you can plug that name into Google) carries this line, but under their own brand (the names of the inks are English translations of the originals).

I have this ink, and I agree that, as far as the colour, it doesn't have much of a wow factor. The scent, on the other hand, smells like the real thing, with just a wee hint of caramel. It's quite nice. Thanks for the review! :)

I just came from Vanness Pen Shop in Little Rock, Arkansas. They have started carrying De Atramentis. I smelled the coffee ink; it is a nicely dull color (if you like that) and the smell is intoxicating!

 

I wound up with a bottle of Kafka (dark red). The bottle was marked $18.20 but was given a good discount. You might call them and see if they will ship.

WANTED:

Delta Indios (FP or BP)

Delta Inuit (FP or BP)

Delta Don Quijote (BP or FP, green pref.)

other Delta Indigenous People

(M nibs or wider preferred)

Does Vaness Pen Shop sell on the internet?

 

If you are ordering several bottles and live in North America, you can get them at a more reasonable price from Rolf Thiel of missing-pen.de. He offers much more favorable shipment charges that De Atramentis. They would be prohibitive for one or two bottles, but they are not bad for several.

In Germany I think the scented inks go for E-9.50.

They make a number of children's inks, in the kids over here still do home work by fountain pen, mostly Pelikan Royal Blue, because of the Pelikan erasure stick.

 

Postage and customs? I'd be having on some US inks paying customs fees, and go down and pick it up.

 

Seeing mail went away from mail by boat, to air mail every thing is at air mail cost.

 

It angers me that when I buy a Stateside book, the air mail cost me an arm and a leg.

When it went by sea and took six weeks, it didn't matter much, it was not going to spoil. When it comes inside a week by air mail....well, I could have waited at that cost.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

I LOVE coffee, and drink a couple of pots a day. If one can detect a hint of coffee smell as you are writing (i.e., you don't have to hold the opened bottle under your nose to get the smell), then I may need to explore this ink (I like brown inks, anyway).

Will you be able to post a review of this ink? Please?

Hello!

 

I was at Art Brown's in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and Mrs. Brown told me that they will be carrying many of these scented inks. Check the Art Brown website, and they will be listed in the new, 2010 catalog coming out soon.

 

I would like to get the De Atramentis inks (made by Jansen) named for famous people, like Jules Verne. They are unscented, but the colors appear to be excellent. I saw them in a recent Japanese ink review in "Shumi-no Bungu Bako" (I translate as "Stationery Collector's Toolkit").

 

Cheers, Robert Alan

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
