@migo what a great PIF! Having been a past recipient of an ink Sample PIF this is a wonderful way to try out inks that you are thinking about or an ink you would have never purchased. I know that the winner will get some serious samples!

Migo984, thanks for another generous PIF.
Not an entry as I still have plenty of samples courtesy of a chap called Murfie to finish off.

Unless you have a converter for your pens you may need to consider an ink syringe to fill your empty cartridges.
These from GPC have big long blunt needles suitable for ink transfers.

Wow I don't have the ink craze that bad .... Yet! But the next ones I want to try are Diamine Amazing Amethyst and Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst (when it comes out). I have a batch of inks coming from Engeika as well though it was ordered 2 weeks ago and havent heard anything about it ... so maybe I'll have new inks soon

Amazing Amethyst is a lovely ink. I'm not a big fan of Edelstein inks - they run a bit dry for me.

I don't think about my wish list. It's scary! :-)
Actually, I have a few Noodler's inks already but the one I really want is Dromgoole's Blue Steel. I think it would be very difficult to get to the UK, except at a silly price. I'm not even sure it's still available.

Thats ironic, it's on my list too but the Drumgoole's website doesn't seem to have a way to shop through it. I draw the line at a multi day drive to buy a bottle of ink. Wish I knew someone in Texas.
