I have a bottle of Iroshizuku Chiku-Rin that I've only made 1-2 fills from and am not crazy about it. I'm willing to trade it for another similar bottle. PM me if interested. Specifically would like another Iroshizuku ink, but I'm also interested in Roher & Klingner inks. Thanks!

I'm really interested in the Sailor Jentle Four Seasons line, but I can't find an online retailer that sells samples...so I'm hoping that there's some *kind* soul out there who would be willing to trade (or even gift) a small sample of any of the following:

 

Sailor Jentle Wishlist:

  • Tokiwa-matsu (Pine Green)
  • Miruai (Seaweed Indigo-Dark Blue Green)
  • Oku-yama (Remote Mountain Burgundy)

Alternatively, I also have a whole bottle of Pelikan Blue-Black which I would be happy to trade for a bottle of any of the above.

 

 

 

Sample Vials to Trade:

  • Private Reserve: Ebony Purple
  • Noodler's: Zhivago
  • Waterman: Inspired Blue
  • De Atramentis: Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens, & Sherlock Holmes

I would rather trade more than one ink at a time to justify postage. The inks that I have are:

 

Noodlers

  • Baystate Blue
  • Red-Black
  • Eel Blue
  • Polar green
  • Apache Sunset
  • Heart of Darkness
  • Golden-Brown

Pilot Iroshizuku

  • Chiku-Rin
  • Fuyu-Syogun

I am interested in just about any color but am really interested in really saturated vibrant colors and more of the Iroshizuku line of inks.

I'm interested in all kinds of samples, though I've tried a fair number of inks that are common in the US. So, I'm particularly after ones that are not as readily availible: L' Artisan Pastellier, Noodler's exclusives and non-US market inks, KWZI, Sailor exclusives (Bung Box, Kingdom Note, Kobe, etc), Akkerman, Diamine collection inks, Levenger, Toucan, etc.

Okay, I'm finally making an account for this forum and I'm eager to trade inks. 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

Noodlers Red Black

Noodlers Tienanmen

Noodlers Black Swan in Australian Roses

 

Private Reserve Ebony Blue

Windsor & Newton Calligraphy Ink Blue Black

 

Sailor Jentle Ink Miruai

 

I'm happy to give up to 5mL of all of them except the Sailor. I also have a few Higgins inks that I can trade if anyone is curious about how they write in pens. Please PM me if you're interested.

Ink Sample Exchange Post


I have many unlisted but I'm trying not to spam the thread.


I also am happy to provide new vials for samples too!

how would one take a sample and send it? test tubes? or syringes?

 

I think most people use a syringe to extract out of the main bottle into the 5ml transport vials with the plastic caps (secured in a ziplock bag).

Current Wishlist:

Visconti, Visconti, and...more Visconti! (And some ST Duponts too). (Ok fine, getting on the Omas and Montblanc trains now too. Toot toot.) (And maybe on the Montegrappa one too, but only for the Miyas.)

      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

      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
