De Atramentis Inks -- North American Source

[Peter from Sherwood Park]

Several fellow FPNs (notably including zquilts) have asked where I have been able to procure the De Atramentis inks that I have discussed on several different forums.

 

My secret supplier is

 

Stylus Fine Pens

10538 102 Avenue

Edmonton, Alberta T5J 3P3 Canada

Phone: (780) 421-0191

FAX: (780) 420-1401

 

Stylus also has a website -- stylusfinepens.com Grace (the store manager) believes that Stylus is the only Canadian outlet for De Atramentis, but she is unsure if any retail outlets exist in the U.S. They are willing to ship to the U.S.

 

You can e-mail Grace directly at info@stylusfinepens.com Perhaps if we get enough people from FPN to e-mail their interest to Grace, she will be able to get a much bigger order next time.

 

The brands of ink that Stylus carries are:

 

De Atramentis

Rohrer & Klingner

J. Herbin

Waterman

Lamy

Pelikan

Sailor

Pilot

Aurora

Sheaffer

Private Reserve

Noodler's

Diamine

Platinum

 

Standard disclosure: I have no financial interest in Stylus but am a satisfied customer.

Thanks! That's useful to know.

 

I have to add that Laywine's in Toronto carries at least some of the De Atramentis inks, and they say so on their web site. I am thinking about ordering some soon, so could you tell us the price from Stylus? And do you know the shipping charges to the U.S.?

I have written to Grace to see if she hhas any idea about how much it might cost to ship De Atramentis inks to the US. I long to try some - but cost may be a factor !

Thanks for the information Peter !!

Just an update on the De Atramentis Document Ink. I've been looking to get some anywhere in Canada and I have had no luck. From what I can tell, Stylus and Laywines no longer have the 'Document' line of inks. Does anybody know anywhere else to get these inks ? Are they the only mixable waterproof/ archival fountain pen inks around ? The noodlers eternal inks I guess are also archival, but you can't mix them and the ability to mix whatever colour you want with the De Atramentis Document Inks is just amazing (I would think... if I could try it... lol)

 

Also, does anyone know how much duties/ import costs to get it from the 'States ? Say 3 bottles of Ink. $60 USD. How much will that cost after it comes through customs ? I'm guessing close to $100 after currency exchange and taxes but I'm really not sure.

 

Thanks.

It looks like Goulet Pens has the document line in stock. I live in the US, so I can't say what Canada shipping/duties would be. Hopefully someone else here will, or Goulet might be able to answer you.

Vannes also sells De Artamentis inks in the USA.

[Gloucesterman]

Birmingham Pens http://www.birminghampens.com ) in Pittsburgh also sell this brand (inc, document) although they appear to be "sold out" of most at the moment. My experience with them has been very positive over several years.

P.S. no affiliation w/ them.

[Bill Wood]

In fact many US carriers. Goulet,and Anderson right off the bat.

As I'm the one who resurrected this post (initially started in 2008) - thanks to all who answered. It seems since then there are a number of places to sell it in the US.

 

Anybody know of anywhere in Canada ? - I've looked at length and emailed numerous places so I doubt it lol. But if you've bought it recently in Canada, please let us know : )

 

Thanks.

Try Laywine's in Toronto. It's under the Laywine's name

[Simulacrum]

Last I checked (month or so ago) Laywine's didn't carry them.

- side note - I'm not looking to buy any right now anymore - I went another direction -

 

But for anyone else who stumbles across this thread, or for the future - If anyone knows of anywhere in Canada who sells the De Atramentis Document Inks.

 

Thanks everyone.

[markshan]

It's under the Laywine's name. De Atramentis Aubergine is Laywine's Aubergine

[ralfstc]

Markshan is correct. Laywine's Sky Blue is Art Topaz, etc.

[Simulacrum]

Oh, I see. So De Atramentis makes their 'store brand' kind of ? I will have to check that out and see if they have the 'Document' series of inks. Thanks for the info! Awesome!
