Ink Sample Exchange - United States

[lcsit14]

Updated

 

What I have:

 

J. Herbin:
All 4 1670 Anniversary inks

Noodler's:
Blue Ghost

Diamine:
Bilberry
Midnight

Sargasso Sea

Oxblood

Regency Blue

I'm interested in the Pilot Iroshizuku, and shading inks. You can pm me if you are interested

[Sooovasion247]

What I have:

 

Diamine Onyx Black

PR Purple Mojo

 

I would love to exchange for a dark colored fast-drying ink

 

If anyone is up for a trade on the PR Purple Mojo, I'd love to discuss that with you.

[egglorru]

I'd love to join in here! Relatively new to fountain pens but already addicted to inks. Check my signature please!

 

I am open to any good shading or scented ink but am looking in particular for:

 

Sailor Jentle Apricot

Sailor Jentle Grenade

Any Iroshizuku (will offer two samples in trade because I know this is expensive)

Noodler's Lexington Gray

Akkerman Voorhout Violet

De Atramentis Almond Blossom (scented)

De Atramentis Bookworm (scented)

[Arkanabar]

I have to trade:

• Waterman Purple
• "Waterman Florida Blue" (I suspect this bottle is either mislabeled or concentrated; it is much more saturated and lightfast than I would expect of Waterman Bleu Effacable)
• Diamine Sherwood
• Sheaffer Turquoise (Slovenian)
• Noodler's Borealis Black
• Noodler's Red-Black (diluted a bit with local well water, soft and a touch acidic, to mitigate smudging)
• Pilot Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku (Peacock)

and while these are my wife's inks, she's said I may make exchanges as long as I notify her in advance of doing so:

 

• Noodler's Bad Black Moccasin
• Noodler's VMail Midway Blue
• Noodler's Blue
• Noodler's Widow Maker (a somewhat darkish, highly lightfast red)

I am interested in lightfast inks, particularly dark, middling-to-warm browns, and really well-behaved blue-blacks, such as:

• Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Guri
• Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai
• Pilot Blue-Black
• Diamine Macassar
• Sheaffer Red

If you have any other suggestions, by all means PM them to me.

Arkanabar

• Diamine Sherwood would be my choice from your stash.

I also have a new bottle of Sailor Jentle blue black you may be interested in a sample of.

I also have glycerin to swap for some photo flo so I can compare the two products.

Hello folks!

Very new here, and completely new to this, but I have:

 

- Chesterfield's new antique line (Antique Jade, Antique Slate, Antique Raspberry)

- Diamine Sherwood Green

- Diamine Oxblood

- Noodler's Baystate Blue

 

And for something a little more interesting:

 

- KWZ Green #2 Iron Gall, and

- KWZ Blue #5 Iron Gall.

 

 

I'd like

-Emerald of Chivor (or other anniversary inks)

-Bungbox (Sapphire or 4B, but probably any color -- I just want to see what the fuss is all about)

-Something that would look nice in a .8 stub nib for a signature on white paper.

-Make an offer -- send a PM!

 

Thanks!

Kyle

I’ve found that Pilot inks work extremely well in Pilot pens so I’m planning to buy these Iroshizuku inks but I would love to sample them first just to be sure I like them because they are not cheap. If I don't end up getting the samples I will probably just go ahead and buy the bottles. Even if you have used samples or .5ml of the Pilot inks, I'm not picky.

I'm mostly interested in purples and sepia/brown/orange/golds, but I also like inks that shade. (So inks like Noodler's Wampum, Kaweco Summer Purple, Diamine Golden Brown or Sepia, etc. Definitely looking for a sample of Franklin Christoph Tenebris Purpuratum).
