Ordering information

Ink ordering is on hold until January when Elaine returns. No invoices will be sent until then as well.

Thank you for your patience!

I've ordered my bottles - yippee!!!!!

Et moi aussi! (Well, one anyway.)

Email sent. yahhhhh! New ink,,,,....huuummmmmmm, now i need new pens.


Joi

Me too!!!

Where's the Starry Night blue? I'd rather wait until it's up so I don't have to pay shipping for two separate bottles. Is there any idea when those might begin production?

How many of the Tulipe Noire are being produced?

Answer to blue ink question:
We're still discussing things with Nathan. We don't know yet, IOW.

Tulipe Noire:
Probably two boxes full, IOW, 288 bottles. However, as with all FPN inks, if we have enough orders to cover initial cost of a full box production run, we can always do another run.

Warm regards, Wim

Me too...

That's too gross.

Ordered my two bottles and reminded about the bottle of Galileo I had put on hold. Best friend just told me I should change my handle from Pengrump to Ink-pig. (Just because I currently own 106 bottles of ink.)

Hmmm. I wonder what he would call me, then. Currently slightly ashamed owner of 179 inks, of which 169 in bottles, not counting any doubles...

Warm regards, Wim

A little confusion seems to have ensued with my order. I emailed to request an invoice for two bottles of Tulipe Noire and one of the Galileo I had held for me. I also indicated that I did not wish to wait for the blue ink about which no decision has been reached by fpnadmin yet. For some reason my invoice was only for the Galileo. Am I missing something?

Wow! That was a fast fix. Thanks, Elaine. I'll put my check in the mail today.

No, I was. I sent the invoice before adding the Tulipe Noire. It has been corrected and re-sent. If it makes you feel any better, the original invoice charged you shipping for all 3 bottles

2 bottles ordered.

I thought I missed something that I was supposed to do since I've never ordered FPN ink before. All is well though. And I'm on my way out the door with addressed stamped envelope containing check and copy of invoice. Thanks again!

Ordered! The Tulipe Noire is my very favorite color.

Put in my order for two bottles!!!! Can't wait to get all three colors!

Ordered one bottle. Can't wait!

Email and info sent - mille grazie

Ordered a bottle of Tulipe Noire and a bottle of the blue (in an e-mail where I asked questions that I could have found answers to had I read the ordering info more thoroughly ).

I ordered one bottle a few days ago. I had trouble with the email address & sending it...I hope it went to the *right*place...

Mine's on order.

Dave

Wackyjacky, which blue did you order? Are they selling a new blue?

Not yet, not yet.

Warm regards, Wim

How long will orders be taken?

Ordered a bottle, patiently waiting for it.

As long as we get enough orders to cover the initial cost of a full set, we will keep on taking orders. Just that it could take a little longer once the initial two boxes are sold out, and we have to save up for the next one.

Warm regards, Wim

Last question . . . for the moment. Any idea how far into the initial two boxes we are?

As of 8:14 AM EDT 128 bottles have been sold.

We are getting low on the FPN Manuscript Brown and a decision has to be made soon whether or not to order another case.

I emailed my request for 1 Tulipe and 1 blue, and to hold until the blue is ready. Should I receive anything back?

yes, if you don't get anything by late afternoon, let me know.

Elaine:

Any word on the selection of the blue color? I'd be willing to wait for my other bottles, if the selection and creation process for the blue was close to being complete.

Turbo!

It's not really close to being complete. We're waiting for word from Noodler's on another choice.

I emailed in a request for one bottle of the FPN Dumas Tulipe Noire ink. This was several days ago. I have not heard anything back yet. Should I attempt to email my request in a second time?

As of this moment, all requests have been processed, so yes, please re-submit. Thank you.

Ok, I just resubmitted my order...I hope it gets through this time.

I ordered my 2 bottles, one each Tulipe Noire and Galileo Manuscript brown, PayPal payment made shortly after getting the invoice. The little notice said something about the Tulipe Noire being sent in 3-4 weeks but no mention of how long it would take for the brown. Did I miss something?

No rush or anything, just sorta curious how long it will all take.....

Cheers,

I'd like to order a bottle, but the shipping costs to Singapore are a little insane. US$11 is the cheapest shipping option - almost as much as a bottle.

To try saving on shipping, would like to start a mass order to this little country.

Have PM'ed some fellow Singaporeans on these forums, but if you're reading this and would like to join in, please PM me.

Bill:

I believe this year's batch of Gallileo Manuscript Brown has already been made. See this thread for more info.

Turbo!

The brown will be shipped with the Tulipe Noire.

Hi

Please point this dimwit in the right direction if the subject has been discussed.

Are the inks all Noodlers?

I have a bottle of Galileo on order, awaiting the other inks.

Regards

Mike

Hi Mike,

In the top post of this topic you'll find the link to the ordering info: http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...st&p=405939

All inks are indeed Noodler's inks, the Galileo being a bulletproof ink, the Tulipe Noire a "standard" Noodler's ink, and both are exclusive to FPN, as will be the blue in its final incarnation.

HTH, warm regards, Wim

Veel dank Wim

Maybe I should not have been so fast in ordering the Galileo. I have had poor results so far with 2 different Noodlers, 1 fair outcome with Lexington.

However, I have a new Marlen (with its own problem, another story in another thread) So I will be testing again tonight.

Kind regards

Mike

Weird. Have you ever flushed your pens prior to using them, from new? Fill a glass with water, add 1-2 drops non-scented dishwashing liquid, stir, fill pen a few times with this, expel everything again, dry well (tissue), fill pen with ink.

The FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown is a problemless ink, it flows as well if not better than Waterman Blue Black, so it is a good ink for priming a pen as well (first few fills to soak in the feed properly). It does show a little nib creep, but nothing compared to, e.g., Legal Lapis.

Oh, do use a decent quality paper, that does help. The cheaper notepads sold in the US, which I have experienced, are not the greatest for fountain pens and fountain pen inks; they are designd for ballpoint ink, not fountain pen ink.

HTH, warm regards, Wim

I seem to be behind the curve here.

How can I order inks (can I still?)?

What inks are available?

I hate to seem impatient or over-eager, but how long should someone wait for their invoice after sending their order email (I'm just envisioning the email going amiss, and me missing out altogether!)
Thanks!

PM sent

If you order the ink without any holds for future ink, you should have the invoice within the same day, or next day if it's late.
