What ink(s) are you waiting for in the mail?

I went a little crazy and bought a big cluster of samples from Anderson Pens. Basically sample of every Noodler's black ink (I want to see which one I like the most), Rohrer & Klingner Salix, and several colors of the De Atramentis Documents Ink. I like permanency in ink, stuff that won't get washed away. I've never ordered from Anderson's before, so hopefully it goes well.

A variety of sample vials of black, which I have never, ever used before. I tend to dislike black and blue inks and have always used brown as my default color. Thought I'd live dangerously for once.

I ordered samples of Mont Blanc inks which arrived yesterday. I got Corn Poppy Red, Oyster Grey, Irish Green and Lavender Purple.

 

I'm waiting for De Atramentis Richard Wagner and Robert Koch, as well as Blackstone Barrier Reef.

Just ordered my first iron gall ink. A bottle of KWZ IG Turquoise from Konrad and Agnieszka. :)

 

Super fast reply to my inquiry. 21:30 last night I sent my inquiry, 23:00 I received the reply. On a Sunday... :yikes:

This morning at 09:45 I received the PayPal invoice and paid.

 

Super service this far...

Noodler's Bad Black Moccasin.

 

I was going to get just regular old Black, but I went with BBM more for the name and the coolness factor of having a laser-proof ink.

 

I think it'll live in either my TWSBI Eco Black or the Lamy Al-Star Graphite that should arrive tomorrow in the mail, or maybe both.

I'm waiting for these from across the pond:

 

Parker Quink Permanent Blue

Diamine Majestic Blue

 

 

With Brexit and the weaker pound, buying from the UK is now a good alternative.

Some people are waiting for the new Sparkly Inks from De Atramentis.

 

Read all about it here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/311444-dr-j-needs-help-again-de-atramentis-pearlescent-inks/

 

I would be waiting for them, but I'm the one sending, which is the opposite of IN the mail, it's OUT for mailing.

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.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Two orders!

One directly from KWZ : Honey, Brown Pink, Blue Black and Pine Green. The first two colors seem to be out of stock everywhere I looked, so they must be amazing. :D

One with a few from Diaming ( Syrah, Blue/Black, Apple Glory, Amazing Amethyst, Amaranth) and some other Blue/Blacks

Diamine Classic Green and Oxford Blue on their way from Vanness.

Kobe No. 55 Nankin-manchi Red on its way from Atsu.

Kingdom Note Trametes Versicolor on its way from Maryland.

Lost a bid for Usagiya Pione, but I already have a bottle, so it's OK.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Isn't that encouraging speculators to sell the inks at higher prices?

High Quality + Scarcity -> High Prices -> Speculation

 

This once was described in Mad Magazine as "The Law of Supply and Idiots."
