This system is very nice, but I found out that I'm willing to share inks that almost everybody has... No point in doing that, so I removed my listing. wink.gif On the other hand I now have over 50 bottles of ink and I really can do without the inspiration of all these other inks... happy.gif

There doesn't seem to be much action in trading, perhaps because of the above? I'm not sure how far back in time to go to ask someone for a trade (I mean some posts are well over a year old).

 

I am thinking about buying a bottle of "unusual" ink just to have something to trade!

Well, something unusual definitely helps wink.gif but it is not necessary; plus, what is usual for you may be unusual for someone else. Some posts being well over a year old is not a problem: I traded inks with a fellow FPN member whose original post is dated September 2004; consider also that some of us periodically update their list (like I just did).

 

Bye.

Here's my humble list of inks and what they look like on my end of the web. I think I have the blues and blacks fairly under control.

 

Interested in branching out to other colors (greens, browns....alright, perhaps other shades of blue and black too).

Hi all,

 

I am new to ink trading but wanted to offer vial of Mont Blanc Blue/Black, Sepia (Brown) and Racing Green which I might refer to as Green/Black.

 

I am interested in acquiring any of the following:

-- Noodlers Polar Blue, Blue, Navajoe Turquoise, Purple, Polar Black

 

-- Diamine Umber (Green)

 

-- Private Reserve Purple Mojo, Chocolat, Ultra Black

 

If you are interested send me a PM.

 

I would also consider trading 1/2 bottle of any MB ink above for a 1/2 bottle of any of the Noodlers I listed above. That might make it easier to share and enjoy.

I'm new to the ink exchange, but I think it's a great idea! There are so many great sounding inks out there, and I only have so much desk space to store bottles of ink! :roller1:

 

I have :

PR Hot Bubble Gum

PR Tanzanite

PR American Blue

PR Shoreline Gold

PR Burgundy Mist

PR Blue Suede

Parker Quink Washable Blue

Noodler's Luxury Blue

 

I am interested in :

Deep purples and Greens

Dark Browns

Prefer PR, because (in my very limited experience) Noodler's seems to cause issues in my vanishing point pens.

 

Contact me by PM if you're interested!

None of us can have as many virtues as the fountain-pen, or half its cussedness; but we can try.

Hello all~

 

I'm joining the ink exchange program in response to the feedback I received regarding one of my custom mixed colors, Russian Aubergine (the discussion is in the FPN Phoenician Regal Purple topic). The color is a deep purple-black that varies to a dusty plum/raisin color, depending on the pen and paper used. You can see samples of the ink here: Russian Aubergine (the actual ink has a stronger red undertone than is shown in the photos...at least on my monitor!)

 

 

So, I have:

 

Russian Aubergine (waterproof purple-black, Noodler's mix)

Noodler's Bulletproof Black

Noodler's El Lawrence

Noodler's Pushkin

Noodler's Rachmaninov

Noodler's Dostoevsky

Noodler's Golden Brown

Noodler's Kiowa Pecan

Noodler's Walnut

Noodler's Firefly (Hilighter)

Noodler's Sunrise (Hilighter)

 

Namiki Black (also in cartridges if you prefer them to a vial)

 

 

and I would like to trade for:

 

ANY Noodler's waterproof inks (except Bulletproof Black, I have plenty of that!) I'd especially like to try some of the brighter blues, and the unusual "foreign" colors. If you don't have any Noodler's Waterproofs to trade and still want to sample Russian Aubergine, I'll consider other stuff--a couple of postage stamps, interesting paper, what-have-you...I'm pretty easygoing. PM me and let me know what you have!

Current favorite pen: Montblanc 144 Meisterstuck purchased at Art Brown in 1984. After decades, every part has been replaced except the nib. Still a gorgeous writing instrument, rock-solid reliable, gives me hours of pleasure to use.

Current favorite ink: Colorverse Supernovs

Current favorite paper: Romeo notepads

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
