New Australian Made Fountain Pen Ink At Justwrite

[Charles Skinner]

Is there a way to buy Toucan Bright Blue ink in a pouch? If so, PLEASE tell me how. I have been trying for several months to find a way to buy more of this great ink! C. S.

I just visited the website for JUST WRITE Pen Co, which has the TOUCAN Bright Blue ink available in 30 ml glass jars.

 

(1) IF, I wanted the ink in a different packaging, I would send a message to the company that was offering it for sale in the smaller quantity & inquire if they could make it available in a larger package.

 

They offer their BLACKSTONE inks in 250ml & also a 1000ml jug; perhaps they could fill either of these with the Bright Blue ink & you would have a "good supply?"

 

2) The company that makes the TOUCAN ink is called TINTEX (Dye Manufacturers of Australia) & is also in Australia; THEIR web site shows the Bright Blue ink & offers it in sizes from the afore mentioned 30ml jar to a 2 Liter jug.

I understand that Tintex, the manufacturer of Toucan Inks, decided to clamp down on the selling of their ink in pouches a few years back - so Just Write and other suppliers can only purchase the inks in their original packaging. As the previous poster (@Barkingpig) points out, you *can* buy 200ml, 500ml, 1L or 2L containers from Tintex (http://www.tintex.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=16) - but I don't know what their shipping charges to the US would be...

 

One other option: Anderson Pens still sell Toucan Inks, though only in a 2oz bottle - and they don't currently have Bright Blue listed on their website. [My guess, they've gotten permission to import larger quantities and bottle for themselves.] Might be worth dropping them a line to find out about availability?
