Ink Samples In Europe

Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

Does anyone know where I can get ink samples in Europe.

The is Scottish seller on eBay that used to have a lot of inks, but I don't know if he's still active.

 

Thank you,

Miguel

The scottish seller on eBay was active until about a month ago (last time I ordered from him), since then I've not been able to see his products listed on the site... I wonder if it's a problem on my part or he quit the business. The latter would be very sad as he had awesome prices and fast delivery for just 1 pound in EU. You might want to check out fountainfeder, as far as I know they are the only ones to carry Robert Oster, Blackstone and Organics Studio in Europe (along with all other ink manufacturers apart from Noodler's), and the prices aren't too bad.

Both the sellers I linked to above sell Oster & Organics Studio inks and there are a few other sellers in Europe that sell those brands (although maybe not in sample sizes). For example:

Yes, he's back! Thanks for letting me know :)

 

Apart from what have been already listed, there's also a very friendly service based in Germany offering worldwide shipping: https://www.fountainfeder.eu/

 

I really suggest ordering from them from time to time, they really are a great little company! They feel to like like "the Goulets of Europe"; they sent me a beautiful package (was worth it just for the stamps alone) prepared with extreme care, a nice handwritten note and free included chocolate.

From Spain http://www.arlepo.com is also recomendable.

 

 

Thanks for this! I've always ordered samples from thewritingdesk, but I suppose postage will be cheaper here.

+1 for Fountainfeder.

I received my order (from Germany to the US) within a week. It was a beautiful package and the customer service is excellent. Very fair prices, too.

      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
