Inks From India


Barry Gabay

Recommended Posts

Good morning everyone, Namaste, Merhaba,

 

Returning to Delhi, Lucknow, & possibly two of the following ( Bareilly, Ayodah, Jhansi, Mathura ) in about a week. Will have time before and after work to hunt for pens, so am pretty excited. Last trip in July 2012 yielded a fine crop of Indian & foreign-made pens, as well as lots of Camel ink.

 

My question today involves ink. I will certainly bring home several bottles of Camel Royal Blue which I like very much. Do you all think I will be able to find Bril ink in the north? Have recently learned a little about this highly respected brand and am interested in trying some in my fountain pens.

 

Any tips or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

 

Best wishes,

Barry

Dear Barry, just PM me your address in the North and I will send across some Bril ink to you.

 

Bril is very hard to find outside the south of India.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
