British Ink Sample Exchange

[Kyburo]

So albeit I'm certainly newish to actually being active on this forum (as opposed to just reading) if you've got any inks you'd like to sample, or colours etc then asking for it and with any luck someone will reply and look to post you a small sample. Or vice versa if someone posts here asking and you've an ink you're happy to share a sample of then you can post it over to them.

I received just the other day my 10 vials from ebay (as previously linked - http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1c3b6560c5) and they're perfect for exactly this, if you've not already got something which you'd be able to send as a sampler then these'll do the job nicely.

 

I've very kindly received a few ink samples already from a user on the forums after my previous post and I'm in the midst of trying them out

[Renfield]

Guys

 

Probably the wrong forum post to put it in, but thought it was the best shot. Apologies if not

 

I am thinning out my ink collection. I just sent a batch of 10 samples each, to 3 people from the list, that are left over from the UK ink Sample group. Happy to do that as it only cost me a 2nd class large stamp.

 

But when it comes to bottles of ink its a bit more costly in terms of postage.

 

I have a few bottles of ink, that i really don't use, and will be very unlikely to use.

 

Wondering if anyone would like a bit of a trade,

 

I have:

Noodlers Black 3oz (Maybe 5-8ml used)

Parker Quink Blue/Black57ml (5ml used)

 

30ml Diamine (most have a few ml out them)

Coral

Twilight (almost untouched, I meant to buy Midnight)

Burnt Sienna

Violet

 

J Herbin - Vert Reseda (never Used)

 

 

I know these inks are not too expensive, with the Noodlers being the most costly (£12 i think), so not expecting a bottle of Iroshizuku for a 30ml Diamine

 

The inks on my purchase list are: MB Irish Green and Toffee Brown, R&K Alt Bordeaux, Diamine Deep Dark Blue/Red/Green, but open to offers.

 

Again, sorry if its the wrong place to post it.

 

If anyone is interested, PM me

My package was waiting for me when I got home from work last night. Some nice looking things in there to play with! Thanks again.

Is anyone still interested in an ink swap in the UK?

[BayesianPrior]

Yes! But I'm out of sample vials at the moment due to sharing a little too much.

If you're interested in Diamine Jet Black, Ancient Copper, Lilac Satin, Blue Flame or Diamine/Cult Deep Dark Green I'll happily do a swap for any of your Diamines - I've picked up six vials so it would have to be three and three empties until I get some more vials.

[Chrissy]

I have far too many inks to list what I have, but I would love to try samples of Montblanc Swan Illusion Plume and (Sailor) SankoDo Tsumurai Blue if anyone has either or both available to swap.

[Bexinthecity247]

I want to join in exchanging too - I haven't got any vials yet but I can list all the colours I have when I get home (mostly MB ones).

I also want to try the Swan Illusion.

[Dochertya765]

Im happy to jump in on this too.

 

I have the following inks:

 

SBRE Brown

Akkerman Blue

MB Mystery Black

MB Oyster Grey

MB Corn Poppy Red

MB Toffee Brown

Is anyone interested in resurrecting this, now that a lot of people have finally been able to register?

 

I’ve got a load of inks but I don’t want to spend ages typing them up for no reason (something I’ve always avoided to stop myself from acknowledging that I already have more than a lifetime of ink......)

I might be interested. I wouldn't even mind just exchanging mystery samples. Or is the idea that we send each other a bottle we don't want and receive what we want? I do have some bottles I wanna get rid of too (Noodler's Navajo Turquoise & Black Swan in Australian Roses, Diamine Golden Brown & Meadow)

Those four are all on my want-list.... If you're interested in selling/trading/otherwise disposing of them, drop me a pm.
