Ink Sample Exchange - United States

[Copper33]

Man, I gotta get some inks to swap, STAT!

[nomadhacker]

Well, my willpower failed me and instead of Diamine Eau De Nil I went ahead and ordered a bottle of Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku. Here is my current list:

 

Noodler's Blue-Black

Private Reserve Black Cherry

Private Reserve Sherwood Green

De Atramentis Sherlock Blue

Pilot Namiki Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku

 

 

I am really interested in anyone who has some Pharmacist's Inks. I'm turning to anyone who has some to try out while I'm waiting for him to start making them again.

Quick question about the ink exchange vials - are they only for use in the ink exchange, or can I also use them for other things? And what is the cost?

Edited August 23, 2013 by WirsPlm

[nomadhacker]

You should email Dillon about the ink vials. Email is in the first post on this thread. But they're general plastic sample vials. Dillon's basically letting them go at cost to himself for the ink exchange, so he'd be the one to ask.

[minibear453]

Alright. I have a full bottle of Iroshizuku Tsuyu-Kusa (well, minus around 1mL from my first fill.) But it's not really working out for me. I'd like to trade it for another Iroshizuku ink- hopefully Ku Jaku or maybe Asa Gao. I'd also be open to other inks, but can't guarantee a trade for those.

I just received an order of inks, so I can finally participate in this!

 

I have the following inks:

 

Noodler's Bulletproof black

Noodler's 54th Massachusetts

Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses

Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher

Noodler's Operation Overlord Orange

 

Pilot Iroshizuku Ajisai

 

I would love to be able to try some of the other Iroshizuku colors, as well as Diamine and Noodler inks that are not black or blue.

[Loveforwords]

Hi it's been a while since I've been on here. I'm going to offer something a bit less conventional. Kind of in a grey area. I have three bottles of ink I'd like to trade for their equivalent types. Both are basically full, I filled one converter of each, and I found that the colors didn't appeal to me.

 

I have a bottle of:

 

Bulletproof black

 

Noodler's Polar green

 

Noodler's Bad Green Gator

 

 

I'm looking for:

 

1.Noodler's Zhivago

 

 

2.Noodler's Socrates

 

 

3.Noodler's 54th Massachusetts

 

 

 

4. Noodler's Mata Hari's Cordial

I'm new here and saw this and thought it would be fun to do. Are these the same vials Goulet pens sell and use for the samples they sell? If so I have some of those I can use. I don't have much ink to trade but I sure would like to try out almost anything out there.

 

All I have is:

Kuretake Black Manga Pen Ink (for dipped drawing pens)

Noodlers Black

Monteverde Black

Noodler's Bay State Blue

Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki

 

I also have some carts of

Lamy Black

Platinum Carbon Black

Black Kuretake Brush Fountain Pen

Tachikawa Black Comic Nib Fountain Pen Cart

Some old Sheaffer Black carts in a yellow and blue box (I can provide Pics if you have interest)

I like this idea! I'm new and still sampling so I haven't bought any bottles yet. I do have a bottle of mixed ink, though.

 

I have:

 

Private Reserve Copper Burst cartridges

A mix of roughly 29 mL Diamine Presidential Blue, 2 mL Pilot Iroshizuku Asa-Gao, and one cartridge each of Platinum Blue, Green, and Violet

 

I'm interested in:

 

Just about anything except black

 

Please contact me by PM if interested.

Quick question about the ink exchange vials - are they only for use in the ink exchange, or can I also use them for other things? And what is the cost?

 

They are also good for nibs and other small pen parts. If you are creative enough, you could potentially swap nibs for ink and stuff like that or use them to store unused nibs. I think they are very useful size. Sometimes I even use them to ship small parts that could be easily broken.

 

In any case, I'd like you to seriously consider getting involved in the ink exchange. It's a very nice program that's really helped me try inks I'd like to buy without having to buy a whole new bottle.

 

I think I should also clarify that one need not use the vials I'm providing. I try to provide the ones I have at a low cost (currently about 10¢ US each as of today, October 22, 2013), but that shouldn't stop people from using any vial they want (within reason) to trade ink samples. These vials are 7ml when full although I recommend filling them to 5 ml so that you have enough space to fill your pen from it. This program is international, not US only. I send vials internationally, and many people, including myself, trade internationally as well. I also provide the vials in any amount, there aren't any limits as to how many you can ask for. If you want >1000 though, you might be better off purchasing an entire package for yourself for a bit cheaper (contact me, and I'll let you know where you can get them in huge quantities like this).

 

In any case, I strive to be very contactable. If I don't reply in 48 hours, something is likely wrong.
