Bloch Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yes, Konrad is the Ink Master. Right now the easiest/affordable way to get them is through a Group Buy. Follow the link in my signature, the KWZI Second Group Buy is completed, but I will announce in that thread when we are ready for the next one. It won't be until the new year In the meantime, drop me a PM with your mailing address and I can mail you a sample of #36 for you to play with and decide if you really want it.. (You will... ) Thanks! I'll do that! Question Reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessy Moon Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Wow what an awesome resource!Thank you Cyber6 and everyone who is contributing! I am definitely going to follow this thread! Quick question - I use a small Clairefontaine notebook for my ink/pen journal which is perfect for me. But what do you guys use for the ink swab cards (are they pre-cut cards? Or are you cutting out your own out of certain papers?) And how do you store the the cards? Thank you for any advice!

Cyber6 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I use the Marumam Nmemosyne Cards.. (you can find them at JetPens).. But that is cause I wanted an easy way to keep track of my inks without much effort from me. I am sure you can find better paper (the Mnemosyne paper is good but not the BEST fountain pen paper) and cut your own. You can also buy the ring tops in a dollar store. I have them organized by alphabetical by brand and then by ink name. Once I locate the ones I want.. I can remove them and scan/compare them side by side. VERY useful. http://edjelley.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/maruman-mnemosyne-word-cards-review-2.jpg Edited December 5, 2014 by Cyber6 **** BauerInks.ca ******** MORE....

Tessy Moon Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Oh that is brilliant to put them on a ring! Thank you for the great suggestion!

Zut Alors Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The rich Montblanc Lavender is difficult to source within Australia - is there a substitute? Anything even close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zut Alors Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks, Visvamitra, the 60 violets purples comparison is one of my favourite threads, your work is outstanding. But even amongst that many inks there's nothing quite like the Montblanc Lavender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloch Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 This is one of the ways I compare colors. I have one rack for inks I have whole bottles of, and the others are ones I only have as the sample vials. Question Reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visvamitra Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 What a cool idea this is ! Unhappily I'm messy, this kind of order just isn't reachable for me. Well, it is, however I would have to put them in place every five minutes. https://wondernaut.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tas Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 These cards have changed my life. Seriously. Migo984, I'm eternally grateful. PS. The Journal shop are out of stock at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberleadavis Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 This 2011-2-25, ink sample vials IMG_1611.jpgis one of the ways I compare colors. I have one rack for inks I have whole bottles of, and the others are ones I only have as the sample vials. I'm totally impressed! Like Vis, I'm too messy. Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas). Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison Don't know where to start? Look at the Inky Topics O'day.

Bloch Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Well, I'm messy in other ways! But thanks, amberleadavis and visvamitra!And Visvamitra, your purple samples are awesome! I love that you did them in different ways, so we can see how they behave under different circumstances. Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing all this!
