Thank you all for your patience! It took a little longer than I thought to get back into the swing of things. Between bad jet lag, and lots of family around I haven't been able to attend to the ink orders until now. And then I had to complicate things by adopting a new dog. Story of the Dog

I am now up to date with orders. If you placed an order you should have received an invoice. Paid orders will go out same or next day.

When I'm a bit more caught up with those, and with other things in my life, I'll get back to working on the blue ink.

Placed my order today and zipped out the paypal. Must have FPN inks for all my new pens!! I think it's rather cool that FPN has their own exclusive inks, and glad to see the proceeds will help out.

I was looking for a purple/wine, so that filled the bill.

The Galileo Manuscript Brown is what I'm drooling over, though. I intend to go through a lot of that ink.

And congratulations for giving Max a great new home!

There has to be one oblivious guy in the crowd and I am it this round. I have watched the "News" forum for a post saying "Orders being taken ..." for the FPN LE blue, but I have seen nothing. How do I order the blue ink?!

Pinned at the top of Marketplace Forum.

Thanks. I checked it out, but it is for the Tulipe Noire and Manuscript Brown. What is the price of the Blue? In fact, what is the name of the blue?

It's still in process, Frank. Elaine will be posting more now that she's gotten the shipping backlog. You'll have a chance to help finalize the colors and design the label, which makes these inks even more of a treat. Keep watching and she'll announce when the final blue colors are ready for voting and discussion.

Now this is cool. Should be fun to see. The Tulipe Noire and Galileo Manuscript Brown were designed before I arrived. It should be interesting to see what happens with the blue!

It's a lot of fun. Lots of discussions and pictures tossed about and wait 'til you see what talented artists lurk on this board!

I got my two bottles in the mail today

Now that the Seahawks have lost I'll test them out by writing a letter or two.

Okay, thanks for the update. I thought I had missed the whole process somehow. I can do that, yes I can!

Thanks for the update! Congrats on the puppy, he's cute.

Yay, got my Galileo Manuscript Brown and my Tulipe Noire today! Now to figure out which pens to ink up and play with.

Question, though: Galileo Manuscript Brown is bulletproof, yes? I'm wondering because it is not mentioned on the label. I know the Tulipe Noire is not bulletproof. Nonetheless, I can't wait to try it out.

I thought it said something on the right hand side of the label, which is different to the DTN, but I can't remember what exactly now. I'll have to check.

Warm regards, Wim

Edit: checked, and you're right, it doesn't say so. I can't remember why we didn't put it on the label, but FPN GMB certainly is "bulletproof".

It says "UV Lightproof - Water based & PH neutral" on my bottles.

Yes, you're right, I just checked .

Warm regards, Wim

Yay! Many thanks for the reassurances.

Should I be concerned if I placed an order over the weekend and I haven't received anything? I'm not trying to be pushy, but I'm starting to get concerned that somebody's spam filtering ate the message in one direction or another.

Yes you should be concerned. I just re-sent it. Let me know if you don't get it.

Thanks very much. I'm happy to report that we have overcome whatever email issue I seem to have had getting the invoice.
