Are all colors in stock? On the shipping over $50, what method is used?

Thanks

 

I posted a video demonstration of the TWSBI Diamond 50 ink bottle on our blog this morning. Had to share my excitement for getting these ink bottles in. As a fountain pen geek and a Diamond 530 user, the ink bottle was just way too cool to pass up. Anyone else got their hands on one yet?

All colors in-stock. Freee Economy shipping over $50 is USPS or UPS, depending on the final weight. If you were ordering, lets say, two of the ink bottles, we would be shipping by UPS ground.

Terrific video! I have been waiting to see something just like that. Looks like a sure purchase now. The only question is, how many and which colors.

They are 'ink wells' or ink bottles at a second level. Today we have so many pretty bottles, C/A, Pelikan Edelstein, MB shoe, I read about a Japanese bottle, but don't know it yet.

 

Not only are we living in the golden age of inks, but slowly we are again becoming aware of the world of ink wells, or bottles that are a class better than just a bottle for ink.

 

In that we have too many inks the traditional flip top ink well will never be good for modern days.

 

We need many beautiful screw cap ink wells. With Twsbi, you get 6 colors, you can adjust to a row of colors, it must not just be red, blue and green. It can be some color with say a red, blue or green tone to the basic color of say brown.

The bottles were pretty genius, not to mention the

design process, conceptualisation and finally the

execution... Time to order a few!

I ordered one with the Orange top ring. Just literally unwrapped it, looked at it in awe of how simple, yet aesthetically beautiful it is, took my TWSBI 530 and filled it with the nib section of using the adaptor on the lid of the TWSBI ink bottle. Absolutely superb! Really impressed. I also bought a little ink filling kit so as not to spill ink all over my desk/self whilst filling the bottle from the most wonderful Watermans Florida Blue ink I am 'hooked' on all the time. Please see pictures, comments welcome!

Errrr, I got upload errors all the time trying to upload the photos. Dunno why?

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
