Silly question, but for any who may be inclined to take pity on me and answer:

 

What is the typical amount of ink exchanged in samples? I have a syringe so I can be exact about it.

 

(Sorry, I can't make myself read all 13 pages of this thread this week!)

[superbleu]

The vials hold about 7 ml total to the rim,

 

I thought I read somewhere that the suggested amount is 5ml to fill the tubes so you can take into account the volume displaced by the nib when filling.

Best thing to do is see what your trading partner want's to do. If you are both refilling cartridges with a syringe, you could both fill the vials to 6.7 ml and leave a bit of head space.
