In a crazy attempt to curb my ink buying binges, I decided that I could only buy an ink if I am in the home country of that brand. This has obviously slowed me down a little bit, but has also spurred plans for a trip to Europe, another to Japan, and perhaps one to Australia.
In the meantime, I’m getting familiar with inks from the USA. Of course, this list will be fraught with difficulties from the start in this global economy. Some companies were originally American and then moved overseas. Some are American companies, but sell re-branded ink made by a non-American company, or simply manufacture ink in a foreign factory.
I don’t really care about all that. This is an inclusive list. If you feel like excluding any of these from your own short list, that’s up to you. So, with that said, here’s my starting point:
What Have I Missed?
I’m sure that there are dozens of little ink brands out there that I’ve never run across, and I’d love to hear about them. If you know of any that should be included in this list, please let me know in the comment section down below!
Unfortunately, I’m not an affiliate of any of these ink brands or shops, but I did add a couple of Amazon links in there, if you feel like supporting the site a little bit. Amazon can afford it.



Whats your shipping rates for Europe? I couldnt see any FAQ page on your website.
All of my shipping rates are USPS actual shipping rates, according to weight and distance. I don’t have any commercial discounts or anything to Europe, so they’re usually pretty hefty, but you’ll see them at the checkout page after you enter your address. They’re frequently $30-40 USD, depending on the destination.
do you sell felt pen inks
If so, can you please email me….billfinksos@yahoo.com
Nope, sorry.
