P.w. Akkerman Fountain Pen Ink Bottle Design

[LeonardoDV]

Remember, the Akkerman ink is NOT sold at the Amsterdam store, only at the store in The Hague Just a reminder.

Absolutely gorgeous bottle, thanks for sharing and the wonderful information.

PW Akkerman No 10 is easily my favourite all round ink!

 

I jumped right in and ordered a bottle immediately after reading lapis's thorough review https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/220349-akkerman-ijzer-galnoten-blzw/?p=2330260

 

It has been impeccably behaved on anything I've put it in, or on.

Very similar, in my findings, to ESSRI but I find it much wetter and more saturated when initially laid down.

 

For sketching, delicate fine feather free lines can be quickly washed over to leave a feint but lovely trail. If left for a while, the same lines will not budge.

I use it on all my envelopes as even the rain we're having here in London now won't wash it off.

 

Blue, Shocking Blue, Garuda Rood, Hopjesbruina and Koninginne Nach Blauw are all on my 2014 radar . . .

Is there no dealer in the USA carrying these inks?

I hear Vaness is carrying some colours, but that was some time ago, and they were not advertising it. You could drop them a line...

But I think prices would not be cheaper as they too have to import the stuff and make a living too.

 

Akkerman is accepting paypal and seems to have good packaging.

Akkerman inks are available in the US from vanness.com, a mom and pop store in Little Rock, AR. Free shipping on three bottles. The two inks I bought from them--indigo and grey--are fantastic. The bottles are nifty too.

Vanness now shows Akkerman inks on their website. I dashed into their shop in Little Rock yesterday and got a bottle of the #10 Iron gall ink for $28. I'll have to go back when I have more time to examine their wide and gorgeous display of fountain pens.

I hope one of the vendors will bring Akkerman inks to the SF Pen Show. I'd like to have one of the small bottles. Even with sharing samples, I'm still only about half-way through the bigger bottle of Hopjesbruin.
