Ink Sample Exchange - United States

[EvolvingK]

I have four bottles of ink that are not working for me -- I bought them before I realized that it was possible to get samples of colors. I would love to trade them for other colors or ... I don't know what else. But they're filling up the box my ink lives in, and I'm not allowed more ink until some of what I have is gone! each of these bottles is mostly full, just one or two pen fills gone from them.

 

So, I have:

 

Private Reserve Black Cherry

Ebony Blue

J Herbin Vert d'Empire

Diamine Teal

 

On my absolute wish list would be partial or full bottles of:

 

Noodler's Mata Hari's Cordial

De Atramentis Aubergine

Charles Dickens

Private Reserve Ebony Purple

 

I am very partial to purples, overall, both dark shades and grayed ones.

[AlejoPlay]

I have a 95% full bottle of Sailor Carbon Black which I don't think I'll ever use (not a big black fan). I'd love to trade it for something else.

 

Currently on my wishlist are:

 

Diamine Twilight, Bilberry, Meadow

Sailor Jentle Blue Black, Sky High

 

(I'll entertain other offers . . . ideally though given the price of the Carbon Black, I'd love to trade for something equivalent to its cost . . . so maybe two bottles of something?)

[Robinkeys]

Can i trade in another type of ink vial or do i have to use these? Also, could i trade paper for ink?

Yes, you can trade paper for ink if someone wants to trade with you. Also, you can use another type of vial to trade if you wish as long as it holds 5mL of ink. If the volume is less be sure to let people know before the trade. Finally, I have some some empty vials available for trade. Send me a message if interested.

I also have some Skrip blue/black that is mixed with the remains of other blues and blacks as the bottles empty. I'm almost out of this Skrip as it is the main ink I'm using right now.

 

I am interested in trying all inks except bright red.

 

Let's trade!

Hi,

 

I have a new supplier of vials. They are extremely fast at shipping, so when I'm backordered, we shouldn't see as much lag time. That aside, I order huge quantities so that we shouldn't have that problem so often. The vials are the same as always, only the supplier is different.

 

That said, I have the following inks to trade:

Aurora Blue

Aurora Black

Diamine Claret

Diamine Blue-Black

Diamine Jade

Diamine Emerald

Omas Green

Omas Turquoise

Pelikan Violet

Pelikan Brilliant Green

 

I will be getting in a few more colors eventually, but these are what I have for trading right now.

I've updated my list -- at the bottom of my "About Me" section. I am red-green colorblind, though, so generally limit my use to blues and blacks and combinations of those. Would love to try the Iroshizuku colors and Noodlers Liberty Elysium blue.

 

thanks!

I am also open to trading the remainder of the Private Reserve bottles that I have.

 

Also, I have a bottle of FPN Van Gogh Starry Night Blue on the way!

 

I prefer darker inks (the more legible, the better). But I am also open to trying some brighter inks, as well; I am especially interested in Noodler's American Eel Cactus Fruit.

 

Thanks!

- Grey

- Raw Sienna

 

Noodler's

- Black Swan in English Roses

- Heart of Darkness

I'm open to trades on most any colors, not a huge fan of blue and do currently have a large collection of samples. Send me a PM and let me know what you want to trade.

[aj3537]

Hi,

I have several inks for trade listed in my signature. I like to trade at least 3 ink samples to make the postage worth while. I love trying new inks.

 

 

I have also started going thru the vast collection of samples I have collected over the last year and have posted "grab bags" of random sample in the Classified Ink section.

 

 

PM me if you'd like to trade.

I'd love to try R&K Alt-Goldgrun

 

I have a nearly full bottle of Verdigris and a new bottle of ESSRI I can trade . . . I can also trade a sample for sample.

[ZachWasniak]

I haven't read every post but I'm currently looking for any Visconti Inks or any Tsuki-yo. If anyone has either, let me know, please!!
