Thanks, Caronann, for the chance. 
 

Diamine. 
Amazing and fun variety of colors, well-behaved, great value, reliable. I keep finding new ones to enjoy! (An always-favorite: chocolate. A recent sample that very pleasantly surprised me: soft mint.)

Maybe I'm just boring, but my favorite ink is Waterman (Mysterious Blue, please).  I put Parker Quink blue-black in my 51, and it writes just a hair more scratchily--so I'll go to the trouble of rinsing it and go back to Waterman the next time I fill it.

Yes, they do have quite an amazing color line.

You're in! Good luck.

Not boring at all. Stick with what works! 

I also like Waterman inks.

You are in the hat.

Noodlers, I guess. I don't have any other inks.

Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now.

Well, maybe this will provide an opportunity for you to branch out.

Good luck!

Oster, yes. Another good brand. I have a few. Notice they are not on the list, lol. 

To be fair, it's not that I don't like the brand inks that I'm offering out. I do. I either thought I would like the color and don't (Oxblood), or I have so many that are so very close in color and tone It is becoming ridiculous to choose between them. 

Good luck!

I love Noodler’s Inks!  I like to draw and paint cards for folks when a birthday or special occasion comes around to make them extra personal, and I like the variety and the way they work with a small paint brush, though I use lots of other brands for that, too. But in my pens it’s Noodler’s more often than not. I’d be down for any bottle mentioned other than Oxblood, which I already have, assuming I’m not too late. Thanks so much for the act of kindness either way.

Oh it's definitely not too late, and you're in the hat. 

I tend to not split inks when I offer them.  It's all or nothing. I figure maybe they'll come handy for a trade or PIF in your future.

Also, I package everything up before it's even sent off.

Answer this for toss in the hat

What is your favorite BRAND ink? Don’t @me with your list of how many. Pick ONE.😂

 

*closes Sunday May 13thth, 6p MDT*

 

Well I could not be more of an idiot when it comes to dates these days.

In my haste to extend the original date, I meant to close this on Sunday the 16th @ 6p MDT. 

I'll be pulling a name and announce  after 6:00.

Oh!  I thought it was for one of those bottles of ink per person, not the whole kit-n-kaboodle!  Cool.

Got my package today!  So many inks, I’m not sure where to start!  I’m gonna get crazy (and inky) and make some splatters/swabs to go in my book. Then I shall ink up the really lovely pen with whichever ends up being my favorite and get to writing…something. It’s really a lot of choices, but I will be methodical and work my way through it over the next few days. Thanks again, and again, and again!

Wow that was quick!

I am very happy you like it.

      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
