Stipula Sins (?)

The title may not be accurate but,as many titles of this typy it has a potential to draw more knowledgeable people :)

 

I'm interested in buying / trying some new Stipula inks however it seems it's practically impossible in EUrope (at least in my usual sources - La Couronne du Comte and Appelboom). Does anyone know why big e-retailers don't carry their products? I've tried to contact Stipula via their website but received no answer.

 

I've never been interested in their pens so my knowledge about the company and it's market is limited. I'm interested in making it wider.

as far as I know they don't sell directly to retail customers and sometimes they offer some products only for business customers (B2B).

@vis I'll send you PM, maybe we could help you

Got my last bunch a few months ago.

I found good prices on the Bay for the Calamo inks, overseas sellers but I get 'em in bunches to save on postage. I see them still there.

At first I had my doubts as I really didn't know if it were the originals from the same producer, but to me at least the inks seem the same as before. That is for musk green, burgundy and yellow.

Being particular colors they usually last to me quite a while.

But I also trust what Niunia said so you better snatch some before they are gone or become more difficult to find.

 

P.S. That last time a bottle of yellow arrived quite stained as it obviously had been opened while the green one just a bit stained as it had obviously been opened as well! Perhaps just half a cm of ink missing compared to the other bottles and the other a few mm.

But at that moment I could not resist and I laughed loudly in a grotesque and diabolical fashion as I could almost see in my imagination the scene at the custom office and the officer duly opening the bottles of yellow and musk green ink spilling all over...

You fellows of all people will surely understand... revenge is too harsh as a word to describe it for sure (karma?).

However, at last it was a small but significant satisfaction for all the days and weeks (that could probably be summed to years!) they kept my pens and paraphernalia.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
