We're delighted to announce that Toucan inks are now available in the US at Anderson Pens. Toucan fountain pen ink is a high quality, Australian made fountain pen ink that comes in 15 brilliant colours but unlike most fountain pen inks they can be mixed with each other to make your own custom coloured inks. All 14 colours can be blended together in varying ratios and can be diluted with distilled water to create an almost infinite range of unique coloured inks. Toucan fountain pen ink is formulated from water soluble dyes with no harmful additives and is pH neutral (7). Toucan ink can also be used with a stylus or brushes and is ideal for writing, calligraphy, drawing, washes, painting, and airbrushing. Ink Type: Washable Container: 30ml glass bottle, screw cap. Quantity: 30ml Cost per ml: 1 bottle - 0.23 : 2 or more bottles - 0.16 Suitable for all types of fountain pen, dip pens, brushes and stylus. Ideal for writing, calligraphy, drawing, washes, painting, and airbrushing. All colours are freely mixable. NB: We do not recommend mixing with other types of ink. Made in Australia by Dye Manufacturers of Australia You can get them HERE

Hi members of FPN! This is my first review, so I'm not sure if I covered everything, but I hope it helps! For the water test, I wrote "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" twice and passed one over with a wet Q-tip and dropped some water on the other via an eyedropper. I bought the ink as part of the FPN group buy about a month ago along with Toucan Bright Blue and Violet. Of the three, Aqua is probably my favorite.

Sinistral1 and amberleadavis have arranged a Group Buy so FPN members in the US can buy Toucan Ink. We only sell this ink in Australia at the moment and this is a great opportunity to get hold of some and only pay the normal price for the ink and packing/postage within the US. How the Group Buys Works: Go to the JustWrite website. www.justwrite.com.au Click on the FPN Toucan Fountain Pen Ink Group Buy link at the top left.. Order whatever ink you would like in this section of the website - No minimum purchase is required. Your credit card or PayPal account will be charged when you place the order on the JustWrite website. On 28.05.2014 when the offer expires, JustWrite will send all the orders to FPN member Sinistral1, who will repackage and post the individual orders to members in the US. Sinistral1 will advise you of the postage cost payable for your order and you pay Sinistral1 with PayPal before the ink is shipped to you. You will only pay the actual cost of packing and posting the order within the US. JustWrite will pay for the cost of shipping the orders from Australia to the US. You pay JustWrite for the ink only when you place your order and pay Sinistra1 for the postage within the US before she ships the ink to you. Prices are in Australian Dollars. Please include your FPN username in the comments section during checkout. We're delighted to make this ink available to US members and appreciate all the hard work done by amberleadavis and Sinistral1. If you would like any additional information please feel free to contact me or Sinistral1.

I'm delighted to announce we have a new locally made fountain pen ink available at JustWrite. Toucan Fountain Pen Ink comes in 14 colours and is made right here in Brisbane by Dye Manufacturers of Australia, a company that has been around since 1918. Toucan fountain pen ink is formulated with water soluble dyes, with absolutely no pigments, no harmful additives and is pH neutral (7). Toucan Fountain Pen Inks can be freely mixed with each other to make your own custom coloured inks. All 14 colours can be blended together in varying ratios and can be diluted with distilled water to create an almost infinite range of unique coloured inks. We've been testing this ink for about 3 months and it's not a highly saturated ink, but that's our only minor criticism - it may not suit people who like highly saturated inks. Available in: 2ml individual samples: $1.25 5ml individual samples: $1.60 2ml sample packs of all 14 colours: $14.00 (Free Postage) 5ml sample/mixing packs of all 14 colours: $18.00 (Free Postage) 30ml plastic pouches: $3.50 30ml plastic pouches pack of all 14 colours: $40.00 150ml plastic pouches: $8.50 (Available soon) 400ml plastic pouches: $15.00 Postage is $5.00 per order and we're offering free postage on the sample packs of 14 colours for a short time. If any Australian FPN members would like to review the ink or just check it out, send me an email with your address and I'll send you a free sample pack. (Only for a limited time though.) Unfortunately we can only ship this ink within Australia. Australia Post packaging requirements for liquids and their costs for International postage make it prohibitively expensive to send overseas.
