white_lotus Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 There must be a way, no? Considering that people who don't attend pen show in Japan have the exclusive ink bottle in a week after the opening day. No. Konrad doesn't like to have pen show exclusive inks available except at the show. The Chicago Blue exclusive was available at Vanness for a little while after the Chicago Pen show, but I suspect they must have add more than a few left over. The inks for Scriptus sell out in less than an hour, There's very few bottles made. Link to post Share on other sites

Cyber6 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think it's more of the decision of pen show organisers, not of Konrad? Actually Cheryl is right. The only reason there were bottles after, was because they were leftovers. Scriptus inks sells out in less than an hour, so no one will be selling them out after. We ordered double this year, (approx 500 bottles) and I am pretty sure it will be gone in a few hours. C. **** BauerInks.ca ******** MORE....

Runnin_Ute Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 This is gorgeous - and my relationship with brown inks is well.... interesting. I don't know I would call it love/hate, but it takes the right ink on the right day on the right paper in the right pen... I have only bought one - Diamine Saddle Brown, and as much as I like it, there is something about it that is just... ? Maybe I haven't found the right combination yet.

eharriett Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Well that's disappointing. I was hoping either Vanness or a Canadian retailer might have a few of the overflow as well. Link to post Share on other sites

The inks at Maruzen pen fair are almost always gone on the first day, completely sold out. Yet, people who don't visit some how manage to get the bottles. How does that happen? Surely Maruzen isn't shipping and selling them directly to the overseas customers. Heck, they don't even ship within Japan. Whatever the method is, can't the same be done with Scriptus?

Cyber6 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I get the Maruzen inks (sometimes) when a friend visits the store and ships to me. I am sure the same way can be done. A good friend of mine, asks all his pen friends to grab the two bottles max and sell him one bottle. Las year, he collected around 10 bottles of inks that he distribute to his friends all over the world. It can be done. You need friends. I think you misunderstood what I said.

Mew Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Ah, i don't even know anyone who lives in Toronto. Anyway, at least they made one colour that I am interested in. Link to post Share on other sites

KKay Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I adore that ink. I am quite jealous. I'd love to have a bottle of that! Link to post Share on other sites
white_lotus Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'm sure this will be a very nice ink, and for those lucky enough to be at the show and get a bottle it will be very special. But for me this isn't any different than the many Sailor inks custom made for shops in Japan where the only way to purchase is at the store itself. Now if this was a new generally available KWZ ink, I'd be very excited. But an ink like this probably won't ever become part of the regular line. Link to post Share on other sites

Cyber6 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Very nice. Do you happen to know what makes certain inks looks green on coated paper? In this case, the results are attractive indeed! No idea dude.. My use of the word "chemistry" might be totally wrong. Is more than just the cotton content (like with Iron Galls). The more % cotton makes an Iron Gall ink change faster. This one is different, I will throw in a WILD guess and say that the "brightness" of the paper has ALOT to do with how the inks is perceived. I In any case, the magic of KWZi is prevalent on every drop and every stroke. I stopped trying to guess and just enjoy it.. C. **** BauerInks.ca ******** MORE....

Bhavna Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Stunning ink! Shame it's not available in the UK. If there is righteousness in the heart, There will be beauty in character. If there is beauty in character, There will be harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba Link to post Share on other sites
InTheory-SF Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 This ink looks a bit like one of my favorites, the Stipula Musk Green: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/320447-stipula-verde-muschiatto-musk-green/ No doubt the inks' behavior will be very different, but the color may be close. If someone who has access to both inks could do a side by side comparison, it might help those for whom this ink is unobtainable, find a reasonable approximation. Having said that, I think it truly is unique and beautiful color. Link to post Share on other sites
chromantic Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Nice enough, I suppose. I have a friend going to this year's show, I wish I'd known him last year. It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on. Link to post Share on other sites
