This system is very nice, but I found out that I'm willing to share inks that almost everybody has... No point in doing that, so I removed my listing. On the other hand I now have over 50 bottles of ink and I really can do without the inspiration of all these other inks... ^_^

[rroossinck]

Now that I've built up a small collection of inks, I've got a few I can offer up to interested parties, too.

 

I've got:

 

Vintage:

Skrip Emerald (late 40s/early 50s)

Quink Permanent Red (WWII-era)

 

Custom Blends

a Dennis Lively original that's a mix of the vintage Skrip Emerald and PR Avocado...very nice green

a Blackberry-ish mix of the Quink and Waterman Black (it's an interesting look)

 

Moderns

Skrip Black - A couple of Slovenian cartridges and a bottle

Waterman Black - Bottles and cartridges

Omas Black - Bottle

J. Herbin Perle Noir - 1 cartridge

Pelikan Royal Blue - Bottle

Lamy Blue - Bottle

Waterman South Seas Blue - Bottle

J. Herbin Bleu Nuit - Bottle

Waterman Red - cartridges

Waterman Green - cartridges

Waterman Blue-Black - I think I have a cartridge of this somewhere

 

I think that's it, although I'll have to do a little checking and potentially update the list.

 

I'm looking for samples of:

J Herbin Eclat de Saphir

Private Reserve Sherwood

Private Reserve DC Supershow Blue

Private Reserve Orange Crush

Private Reserve Black Cherry

Noodler's Bulletproof Black

Noodler's Apache Sunset

Noodler's Habanero

Noodler's Kiowa Pecan

SwishMix Tahitian Pearl

SwishMix Seminole Sepia

Swisher's Midnight Black

Swisher's North Sea Blue

Aurora Black

Aurora Blue

 

I'm also looking for a Ferrari-red ink, but I'm not sure which is the closest to approximate that color. Someday I'd love to own a 355 or 360, but since that'll most likely never happen, I'd at least like the color for my pen!
