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 […]
Krishna’s Mumbai Ink is a color in the Krishna “India” series that also includes Dilli (aka, Delhi). Like most Krishna fountain pen inks, Mumbai comes in a small 20ml bottle and costs around $9 in the USA, where it is available from shops like PenChalet and Pen Realm, though Krishna Inks are frequently out of […]
Private Reserve’s “2 Minutes to Midnight Blue” is their first limited edition ink; this one is limited to 1100 bottles, so it probably won’t be hard to get if you want it, but it won’t last forever. I ordered this bottle from Pen Chalet, and I don’t know if it’s available anywhere else. It arrives […]
I’ve had pretty terrible luck trying to order inks from China, but these two inks have been exceptions to the rule. I first ran across Volga River and a photo that made it look like a vibrant true blue ink with heavy sheen, and I was happy to find Pine Forest listed along with it, […]
I’ll admit that I didn’t expect a whole lot when I purchased Ocean Whale Blue & Ocean Whale Blue Black on AliExpress, but I was amused by fact that anyone would so blatantly and so weirdly copy the style of Noodler’s ink, and the “Blue” did look like an nice sheening ink, so I thought […]
A few years ago, just as my obsession with inks was starting to grab me, I ran across the Pelikan Edelstein series on inks on Amazon, and I immediately knew that I had to get one simply because of how much I liked the bottles. Sad but true. I started browsing through the various reviews […]
