That one brand

[Bo Bo Olson]

I tend to chase shading inks, Pelikan 4001 and many of the Edelstein inks, Herbin, and R&K and some of the DA inks...MB has become a rip off so, I'm glad I bought my MB inks 7 years or a decade ago. 

 

Japanese inks are a luxury, I can not afford. Kon Piki was €30 and only because I pulled out that ink box can I remember the names of these disappointing nothing special and I'm sure well matched by Diamine, Asa-goa and Ajisai inks.

........................I am sure there are many a match in less expensive inks than Faber-Castel, C'DA, MB and Japanese inks.

For a good 12 or more years, I avoided Diamine, in I wanted the basic 100 mainland Euro inks....never made it....and now Diamine offers a huge amount at a fair price, even for their special inks.
