These are so hard to get in the US. I would love to have a coffee scented ink!

Google is your friend:

But shipping is ridicolously high....

I know... 38 or 32€ was it - that is expensive... you wonder if it cmes with a representative who asks if you are happy with the bottles...

 

 

You would possibly have to team up wth someone - or get a local pen shop interested in buying a lot of ink...

You could try importing from Canada: Stylus Fine Pens (you can plug that name into Google) carries this line, but under their own brand (the names of the inks are English translations of the originals).

I have this ink, and I agree that, as far as the colour, it doesn't have much of a wow factor. The scent, on the other hand, smells like the real thing, with just a wee hint of caramel. It's quite nice. Thanks for the review! :)

I just came from Vanness Pen Shop in Little Rock, Arkansas. They have started carrying De Atramentis. I smelled the coffee ink; it is a nicely dull color (if you like that) and the smell is intoxicating!

 

I wound up with a bottle of Kafka (dark red). The bottle was marked $18.20 but was given a good discount. You might call them and see if they will ship.

Does Vaness Pen Shop sell on the internet?

 

If you are ordering several bottles and live in North America, you can get them at a more reasonable price from Rolf Thiel of missing-pen.de. He offers much more favorable shipment charges that De Atramentis. They would be prohibitive for one or two bottles, but they are not bad for several.

In Germany I think the scented inks go for E-9.50.

They make a number of children's inks, in the kids over here still do home work by fountain pen, mostly Pelikan Royal Blue, because of the Pelikan erasure stick.

 

Postage and customs? I'd be having on some US inks paying customs fees, and go down and pick it up.

 

Seeing mail went away from mail by boat, to air mail every thing is at air mail cost.

 

It angers me that when I buy a Stateside book, the air mail cost me an arm and a leg.

When it went by sea and took six weeks, it didn't matter much, it was not going to spoil. When it comes inside a week by air mail....well, I could have waited at that cost.

I LOVE coffee, and drink a couple of pots a day. If one can detect a hint of coffee smell as you are writing (i.e., you don't have to hold the opened bottle under your nose to get the smell), then I may need to explore this ink (I like brown inks, anyway).

Will you be able to post a review of this ink? Please?

Hello!

 

I was at Art Brown's in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and Mrs. Brown told me that they will be carrying many of these scented inks. Check the Art Brown website, and they will be listed in the new, 2010 catalog coming out soon.

 

I would like to get the De Atramentis inks (made by Jansen) named for famous people, like Jules Verne. They are unscented, but the colors appear to be excellent. I saw them in a recent Japanese ink review in "Shumi-no Bungu Bako" (I translate as "Stationery Collector's Toolkit").

 

Cheers, Robert Alan

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
