I'd love to join in here! Relatively new to fountain pens but already addicted to inks. Check my signature please!

 

I am open to any good shading or scented ink but am looking in particular for:

 

Sailor Jentle Apricot

Sailor Jentle Grenade

Any Iroshizuku (will offer two samples in trade because I know this is expensive)

Noodler's Lexington Gray

Akkerman Voorhout Violet

De Atramentis Almond Blossom (scented)

De Atramentis Bookworm (scented)

I'm always up for an ink trade!

I have to trade:

  • Waterman Purple
  • "Waterman Florida Blue" (I suspect this bottle is either mislabeled or concentrated; it is much more saturated and lightfast than I would expect of Waterman Bleu Effacable)
  • Diamine Sherwood
  • Sheaffer Turquoise (Slovenian)
  • Noodler's Borealis Black
  • Noodler's Red-Black (diluted a bit with local well water, soft and a touch acidic, to mitigate smudging)
  • Pilot Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku (Peacock)

and while these are my wife's inks, she's said I may make exchanges as long as I notify her in advance of doing so:

 

  • Noodler's Bad Black Moccasin
  • Noodler's VMail Midway Blue
  • Noodler's Blue
  • Noodler's Widow Maker (a somewhat darkish, highly lightfast red)

I am interested in lightfast inks, particularly dark, middling-to-warm browns, and really well-behaved blue-blacks, such as:

  • Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Guri
  • Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai
  • Pilot Blue-Black
  • Diamine Macassar
  • Sheaffer Red

If you have any other suggestions, by all means PM them to me.

  • Diamine Sherwood would be my choice from your stash.

I also have a new bottle of Sailor Jentle blue black you may be interested in a sample of.

I also have glycerin to swap for some photo flo so I can compare the two products.

Hello folks!

Very new here, and completely new to this, but I have:

 

- Chesterfield's new antique line (Antique Jade, Antique Slate, Antique Raspberry)

- Diamine Sherwood Green

- Diamine Oxblood

- Noodler's Baystate Blue

 

And for something a little more interesting:

 

- KWZ Green #2 Iron Gall, and

- KWZ Blue #5 Iron Gall.

 

 

I'd like

-Emerald of Chivor (or other anniversary inks)

-Bungbox (Sapphire or 4B, but probably any color -- I just want to see what the fuss is all about)

-Something that would look nice in a .8 stub nib for a signature on white paper.

-Make an offer -- send a PM!

 

Thanks!

Kyle

I’ve found that Pilot inks work extremely well in Pilot pens so I’m planning to buy these Iroshizuku inks but I would love to sample them first just to be sure I like them because they are not cheap. If I don't end up getting the samples I will probably just go ahead and buy the bottles. Even if you have used samples or .5ml of the Pilot inks, I'm not picky.

A short list of (some of) what I have available is:

All of the anniversary Diamine inks,

Still would appreciate PM's for interested parties.

 

I have 5mL vials. They're a lot like the Goulet Pens ones.

 

I'm eager for pretty much any ink, but I'm most interested in European inks. Color-wise, I am interested in reds, blues, greens, and blacks. But as said, I'm interested in many things.

 

I have (and am willing to trade)

 

Wancher Matcha Green

Wancher Asuka Brown (this writes like a really dark purple/magenta)

Wancher Imari Blue

Wancher Tenmoku Black

Wancher Ebine Violet (this is pretty magenta)

Wancher Chocolate Brown (this one is actually brown)

 

Noodlers Baystate Concord Grape

Noodlers Golden Brown

Private Reserve Ebony Blue

      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.
