I didn't even know this ink exists.  Is it still available anyplace (given that it was an LE ink from last year)?

Vanness had some earlier in the week. A friend ordered a bottle for me (along with other things, oops).

Thanks for the tip!  I just checked their website and they do have it in stock (oh, like I REALLY need more ink... )!

ETA:  No, I'm wrong -- I looked at the listing again and it was R&K Salix I was looking at....    And I don't need another bottle of that yet....

Nut Ebony is listed as being sold out....

Not anymore.

I hope the smiley means that you bought a bottle?

 

I would never trust an IG ink in a sample bottle.  They oxidize once exposed to air, and samples in a sample bottle have, by definition been exposed to air.  And usually samples are a tiny bit of ink which means the ink sloshed around with lots of air in the bottle while being delivered.

No. But was gifted a sample by another FPNer. It's in my review pen now.  Pretty sure my benefactor knew what she was doing - large sample in a well-sealed centrifuge tube.

Hmmm.  Wondering now if that's what happened with the sample of Diamine Registrars....
