Here's a few ink samples for your viewing pleasure:

Just a quick Note on the Purples (the Omas Violet, the Diamine Imperial Purple, the Pelikan Violet, the Noodler's Singapore Vanda Miss Joachim and the Russian Lermontov): all of these came out blue rather than purple. On the page they are all actually purples. Also, the Dragon's Napalm, the Georgia Peach, and the Magestic Orange are more Orange. No idea if this is the scanner or my monitor. Also I don't know how to fix these without throwing off all the other colors. Other than that the scans look quite close to the actual paper samples.

Hi


Thanks for your samples posting. It's a very rich palette of colors. Good ink collection. My congratulations.

Outstanding! That sure modified my "must have" list of inks.

I do have a couple of questions. R&K Black looks like it has a significant green component. Is that accurate or is my monitor playing tricks on me again? Also, is the Sailor blue from a bottle or cart? Thanks, Kate!

Sorry folks, I'm way over my attachment limit. You can still see the scans of all 42 inks here:
