Hi,

I'm hoping to get started with the ink exchange in the future. For the time being though, I'd just like to figure out how people usually go about shipping the ink.

I gather that the normal procedure is to use a 7 mL tube or something similar filled with about 5 mL of ink. But then, how is that shipped? Do people simply put that tube in a plastic bag and then an envelope and ship it? Or are padded envelopes of some kind neccesary? Also, how many stamps does one need to use for shipping one or a couple tubes to someone else in the U.S.?

[alvonellos]

The only ink I have is two bottles of noodlers black, one I'm currently using, the other is unopened. The black I'm using has aged into itself quite nicely and it is solid solid black with my medium nib. It's so dark that printer toner looks lighter than it does -- if that gives you any idea.

 

I'm looking to try any iron-gall ink. I also really would like to try any shading ink, especially apache sunset, before I buy it.

 

I'm also willing to try custom mixes people have made.

 

I also have tons of India speedball ink in various colors. They were a gift to me and I can't use them in my fountain pen. I don't have a dip pen either.

 

Please PM me if you're interested. This is my first time doing this.

Hello, all!

I don't have much, but I would love to swap with what I do have.

I have a bottle of Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku and a bottle of J. Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite.

I'd be interested in swapping for other Iroshizuku inks. I'd like to eventually sample inks from Private Reserve, Montblanc, and R&K, as well.

I like vivid colors. I"m not really attracted to flat colors. I like colors that are complex and show variation. Really, anything interesting.

Have anything like that?

Send me a PM if you're interested in swapping.

[lreiley]

Same question that Brier had, and do people trade with recycled Goulet vials? Not sure what size they are.

[Brier]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who had that question!

 

I ended up posting that question as a dedicated topic of its own when I didn't get responses here. You may find the thread helpful: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/258852-how-to-ship-ink/

 

I believe that the vials used are 'officially' 5 mL and can hold a total of 7 mL. The first post on this "Ink Sample Exchange" thread covers this question a little. I presume the standard vials used are the same as the Goulet vials, but I'm not sure about that.

[lady flash]

You can trade with whatever vials you want, just make sure they're clean and you know how much you put in them (for a fair trade). One trade I got had a tiny glass vial!

[Larry Barrieau]

I have: Binder's Burgundy, (Noodlers Burgundy, Turquoise, Bay State Blue,) Watermans Purple, Sheaffer Scrip Red

 

I want anything except: Noodlers Blue, Noodlers Forest Green, Noodlers Apache Sunset, (Diamine - Pumpkin, Meadow, Matador, Midnight, Aqua Lagoon, Florida Blue, Marine). (DeAtramentis - Mint Turquoise, Dianthus, Poppy Red, RL Stevenson.) Private Reserve Sepia, Platinum Silky Purple,

 

I'll be sending 5ml in Goulet type vials.

[PrintersDevil]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, if not let me know where best to post.

I have several bottles of ink which are fairly full and which I am no longer interested in.

I would consider trading one or more of these bottles with someone for another color.

I think a fair trade is one in which the volumes of ink being traded were fairly close.

I can make a reasonably accurate measure of the ink in the bottles.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Joe

[Funkmon]

I would be interested. I have a couple pretty full bottles I wouldn't mind trading. What do you have?

[loudkenny]

I love PR DCSSB, but my favorite is 1940's Quink Permanent Royal Blue.

Why? Just because.

 

My doctor even teased me about it once - he told me his father wrote everything

in that color, and watching me write made him remember. The man is past 60 too...
