There is. Check FC Ink Cellar. It's a new fluid, listed as #181. Want to order a bottle, next month probably.

UPD: Seems I'm too late

Blackstone uses your swatches for ink colours. Maybe you could mail them your swatches (after getting Urushi red if you intended to) so that they can replace their own with more colour accurate ones. Had the same discussion with another FPN member on how almost all colour swatches were showing the colour inaccurately.

 

Edit: although the one done by Leigh Reyes shouldn't be replaced.

I'm writing an email to them after I finish this post. Some of the swatches here are a poor representation of the actual hue, it's really is a shame.

 

Mew is right, the way Blackstone turned to you for swatches, F-C should touch on a customer to make their swatches as well.

It's astonishing that you get so much shading from a Japanese fine nib. :cO

No way that's fine... it looks quite "broad" to me...

I think it's a western F nib. I have only 4 pens that I use regularly, and all 4 of them were inked. So I picked up some random pen and made this writing sample.

It's a crappy pen, and after writing these 3 lines I remembered why I don't use it.

Click on the drop down menu and select that red. It doesn't show up in the top two ones.

Non-sailor ink time:

 

From USA:

4x Papier Plume Mardi Gras Indians Purple

 

Locally:

9x Lamy Dark Lilac (3 for me, rest for friends)

[haruka337]

Is that really all the Lilac you're purchasing?

[Mew]

I want to purchase more, but I don't think I need that many.

I think it might be difficult to use up 3, but getting these because it's a limited edition.

I thought Lamy said they will add ALL their LE colors to their regular line.... Was I dreaming??

Honestly... I don't remember where I read that.... maybe is just my imagination.....

[Mew]

Well, hopefully.

But 3 bottles of dark lilac isn't something that I mind buying even if it's not a limited edition. I would have been angry had I already gone through the plan of ordering another 15.
