Hello all,

I'd like to join the UK ink exchange also. I'm pretty new to this at the moment so my list is very small indeed but my collection will be growing shortly. I plan on getting some more next week and will update and edit list as appropriate.

My vials should be on the way from Dillon as well so it looks like I'm all set!

Here is my list...

Private Reserve
Midnight Blues

Visconti
vanGogh Sepia

Waterman
Florida Blue


Thanks,

Matt.

Re UK Ink Exchange

Have 75 ml of Green to swap with UK FPNs, ink writes dark green on a wet writer and, logically, light green on a dry writer.

Any colour considered

Is anyone still doing this?
I'd like to join, have quite a few inks but no point listing them if the exchange is now defunct. I would also need to get vials from somewhere.
Any info anyone????

Hi, I am interested in still doing this and can provide vials. If you choose an ink from me, I can then send a spare vial with your sample:

Inks that I have are:

Quink Black
Quink Blue
Montblanc Bordeaux (dark red/brown)
Lamy Green
Watermans Red

I will happily exchange any of the inks above for anything new. I`d love to try a noodlers ink or Aurora Black or Blue....also anything with shading, actually I think I`m strongly establishing the fact that I`m pretty happy trading for anything different to try! Only a small amount needed to trade, just enough for a few fills.

Hi Chris,

I'd happily try a British ink exchange.

I've not tried Waterman's red or Lamy green from your list.

Inks I can offer that don't appear on your list include:

Noodlers: Baystate Blue (dangerous!) or Navy (a misleadingly named Greeny Blue).
Diamine: Sapphire Blue, Indigo, Imperial Blue, Imperial Purple, BlueBlack, Washable Blue, Prussion Blue, Florida Blue.
MontBlanc: Blue, Purple, Green
Watermans: BlueBlack, Green

Let me know if you want to try any of these and I'll send a PM with my address.

Best regards,
Andy

PM sent.

Happy to exchange more sample. Especially looking for inks with good shading!

If only I had found this forum BEFORE I moved to Australia!

Anyhoo, rather than incur the outrageous postage rates to ship ink samples out to Australia, would people be kind enough to post pictures of writing samples with the various inks they own?

My collection of FPs has thus far only extended to Parker pens of various description but I have just received a Waterman that I would like to try with something other than Quink ink. I don't really want to waste money on a hit or miss purchase of various inks so it would be great if some of the guess work was removed from the equation if I could see examples of how the various inks write.

Pretty please????

If you head over to the Ink Reviews board, I think you'll find what you're after. The vast majority of reviews have pictures of the ink in question.

Hi UK traders!

Is anyone here still actively trading?

I'm based in Northamptonshire. I have a large stock of plastic vials, microfuge tubes, etc. in return for samples.

In terms of inks, I do have some new unusual inks from the USA like Noodler's White Peacock, and also a few Dr Ph. Martins Hydrus sets if anyone would like to try these as inks.

Please PM me, and I will try contacting some of you via PM in the coming days...
