Any inks in particular? I'd be happy to send you a few samples, if I've got any of the ones you're interested in :)

The Writing Desk sells samples if you want inspiration as to what you fancy trying out. Otherwise please PM me if you're after something in particular.

Also happy to help by sending samples. PM anything you want to try in particular. I will caveat that Migo and Chrissie have way more inks than I do, but I have more than I can ever use.

Thank you for the kind offer I'm interested in trying a few more blue-blacks ones that I am hoping to buy samples of are CDA Magnetic blue, rohrer and klingner salix and pelikan edelstein tanzanite. I tend to prefer blue blacks on the more teal side. So if you can think of any suggestion of blue-blacks I should buy samples of I'd be be greateful for the suggestions.

I think that's true for many of us. :rockon:

I guess I have more than 10 people in several lifetimes can use. :(

It's shocking how addictive ink can be - but at least it's cheaper than buying pens, and far less harmful than many addictions.

Wear our inky fingers with pride, fellow addicts.

(I realise I am enabling others to venture further into this rabbit hole :) )

Very sadly, I don't have any of those 3 inks. I would recommend that you make a habit of looking regularly on Amazon.UK to see if the C d'A Magnetic Blue is ever reduced, because very rarely one of them is. I bought Divine Pink and Electric Orange at very good prices that way.
I had a small sample of P.E. Tanzanite once, but I have none left and never bought a bottle. I don't use Blue-Black inks very much, as I'm not a great fan of them. :(
I had a sample of Diamine Twilight, when I reviewed it. That's a teal leaning Blue-Black. :)

Thanks any how I will take on those suggestions.

I found this seller on ebay which sells ink samples at around goulet prices and offer UK free shipping and I've bought so far Pilot pilot iroshizuku tsuki-yo, pilot iroshizuku shin-kai I probably will try half a dozen more samples in the coming weeks.
