Nice looking ink. Are the 40ml bottles a different shape?

Yes they are the 'pie slice' bottles

I sure hope the small cartridges will be carried locally in Canada by Paper Umbrella or WonderPens.

I didn't know of their existence until this comment. So I looked for an image.

I'm not sure I have enough room anywhere to line them up in a circle like that. :facepalm:

Do you know when purple dream will be released?

for sure

I have no room except to stack my inks, so these would have to stay in their boxes, which I see are cube-shaped.

The boxes aren't cube shaped. Only the bottles are.

Edit: Yes, the boxes are cube-shaped, but the bottles are not.

I believe it's the other way around.:)

Yes you're right. I mistook the word 'cube' for 'pie'

I just popped into this review thread to say that these inks have now been issued and are readily available from Diamine and other retailers. :)
