When I was ordering Noodler’s 1984 a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that Dromgoole’s also had an exclusive Noodler’s ink called “Sidewinder Sepia” in a small, one ounce bottle. Apparently it was a pen show ink recently, and the label is marked “2021” and has a phone number that I assume is Dromgoole’s, but […]
While I was pestering the good folks at Krishna Inks a few weeks ago about one of my orders (it seems that I’ve been buying a lot of Krishna inks lately), they were kind enough to offer me a pre-release bottle of a new ink to review, and I agreed (obviously), but they said nothing […]
I missed out on the original release of Noodler’s 1984. By the time I knew that it existed, it was sold out everywhere that listed it online, and I wasn’t willing to pay Ebay prices for it. When the second version was announced, though, I was able to track it down at Dromgoole’s while it […]
When I ordered my Berlin Notebook Blue inks, I also noticed that they had a nice green, and since I was already paying for shipping, I thought that I might as well add it to my cart. I’m glad that I did. It’s a nice hunter green with moderately heavy purple sheen. This is the […]
With autumn upon us, I’ve been thinking about warm orange and yellow inks, and I ordered a few of them from Krishna Inks in India, including Caramel, Bronze Leaf, and Halloween Orange. “Caramel” is a color in the “Super Rich” line of inks, and is packaged in a standard Krishna 20ml bottle. For Americans the […]
At the moment, this ink doesn’t seem to be available in the USA, but we are able to order it directly from India, and if you’re a fanatic for blue inks like I am, it will be worth it. I paid about $9 for this bottle, plus shipping. These small glass bottles hold 20ml. Krishna […]
Colorverse Anti-Matter was one of the first Colorverse inks that I ever purchased, having found it on sale from Pen Chalet for something like $2 for the bottle (along with Warped Passages). I’ve since discovered that these two inks are shimmering versions of otherwise non-shimmering inks, and they were intended to be free gifts with […]
Among the haul of inks that I imported from China last winter were quite a few PenBBS inks, including six of the Season 27 inks in heavy, square glass bottles. All of these inks have botanical names, and this one, #507, is called Lily of the Valley. The resemblance of these inks to Sailor’s Manyo […]
I love the idea of multi-shading inks, though most of the ones that I run across are too pale to be useful for day to day use. That hasn’t stopped me from buying a few of them, though. I ran across a couple of Pennonia inks last week, and I couldn’t help myself: I bought […]
Last year I bought a Cognitive Surplus notebook because it had a cool looking beetle on the cover, but didn’t really stop to notice that the paper inside was recycled and not at all fountain pen friendly. I didn’t want it to go to waste, though, so I started looking for a vibrant blue ink […]
