Ink Sample Exchange - United States

Wish I could edit the post more than once :(

 

Hi rdugar,

 

I don't think you want to edit your original post. On the other hand, you can. :)

 

I am new here and just discovered this thread as a solution to the problem of wanting to try a bunch of inks in order to find the one version that you're looking for, or they are all great, but one eventually tires of them and wants to use some other colors. Which is some variation of what everyone else is doing on here.

 

With that in mind, once I read the first page from years back, I just jumped to the last page to get the current view of things. So if your original post ends up getting too far back very few new people will eventually be reading it. However, why rewrite some of that information again if it's still relevant? Make your old post a new post by copying the original with the ["Reply] button and then editing it to suit your new situation.

Delete the computer's quote codes at the beginning {quote name='rdugar' date='Feb 18 2009, 07:37 AM' post='940506'}

and end {/quote} of your message and it will appear as a normal post rather than in a quote box.

i have ink.

i want ink.

 

I hope that's clear and helpful.

- Waterman South Seas blue, Havana Brown

- Diamine Presidential Blue 2004

- Hero / Doctor Black, Blue/Black

- Penman Ruby (in cartridges), Ebony

- Mont Blanc blue/black (very watery and thin though, may be too old?)

Hi,

 

The only thing is I don't have any of those little sample vials. How/Where do I get those?

 

I only just started getting interested in fountain pens & inks so my collection is a grand total of 3! I have a few more inks, but these are the three that I have enough to share and trade with.

 

I have ink:

Noodler's

  • Zhivago (Dark Green)

The Heart of Darkness (Dark Black)

Seminole Sepia (made for Swisher Pens)

I want ink:

Noodler's

  • Red-Black

or any other suggestions for a nice RedBlack

 

Thanks!

Ummmm, out of curiosity, how long have you had those PR inks?

 

As best as I can tell from my records they are Summer 2006 acquisitions. I have older and newer P.R. blues and greens that are fine. I presume that they were contaminated by something since it appears to only the the red / burgundy / brown inks that are effected. Maybe I was dipping and playing around with that color range one day and some evil crept inside? No sign of mold though, so I am officially stumped.

BUMMER! I've heard tell that sometimes Burgundy Mist shifts color over time.

I am putting a hold on all trades until after April 24 when I can sit down and reinventory - a lot of trades have been done recently and as I am a CPA and it's tax season :crybaby: I just won't be able to do this properly until then - thanks to all those who have been trading with me.

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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
