Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
I bought 3 from them and 3 from someone on FPN.I'm a big fan of Standardgraph inks. Did you buy from Seitz-Kreuznach? They have always given great service and I highly recommend them.

I bought another bottle of MB Toffee, no surprises there. But the Herbin Cafe des Isles is a disappointment, and it's going into the trade box. It's just kinda washed out sepia to my eye.

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
Isn't that toffee color beautiful?? It's one of my favorites after another member posted about it.

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
Yes, and it's one of my most used inks, especially in EF flex pens. My problem is I buy a bottle thinking I that I might as well take it while it's in front of me, but when I get home, I find I already had plenty. Now I'm up to four unopened bottles of Toffee! Soon, I'll be on one of those Hoarders TV shows.

P.S. Want to trade a Herbin Cafe des Isles for a Toffee?

On my side, I actually use MB Toffee as well for exactly the same reason when I practice Copperplate.Yes, and it's one of my most used inks, especially in EF flex pens.

Oh yes,I am so stoked. I got five big bottles of Noodlers, with five free pens. I'll probably give them away. And one bottle of Akkerman . Yes, the Akkerman looks awesome in real life

Diamine Strauss
Diamine Schubert
Diamine Deep Dark Purple
Diamine Iris
KWZI Gummiberry
KWZI Violet #4

Neo's awesome PIF resulted in this, which I like to call " this is what inky happiness looks like " ;-) 10 Noodlers' ink samples, what a joy

Re: What Are Your Recent Ink Acquisitions?
I bought 2 bottles of this, love it. I read somewhere it is a navy blue and looks like it to me. No purple in it as I see it.Meant Royal Blue, my badSorta kinda maybe. I've never heard anybody call it "MB Navy" before, i.e. leaving off the JFK or "John F. Kennedy".

Wanted a well behaved blue-black that won't go anywhere once on the page. There are those that caution against the nano inks and those that claim to have used them forever with no problems whatsoever. This will be used for drawing as well as general writing. It will be used in fountain as well as dip pens, on a variety of papers...from heavy watercolor paper to cheap copy and note papers. It's reputation is solid. I expect my experience to be positive.
Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
I have Too Many Inks, but caved and bought MB Blue Hour. I'll probably cave on JH Emerald of Chivor, too. IF I can ever find it.
My other pen is a Montblanc.
And my other blog is a tumblr!
And my latest ebook, for spooky wintery reading:

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
If you want the Emerald ink, why not preorder to ensure it won't be ' unobtainium'? A number of the related threads have links to vendors that are taking names in advance.
Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
I've recently loaded up on a few samples from Anderson Pens & Goulet Pen Co; Noodler's Ink Golden Brown, Apache Sunset, & Black Swan in Australian Roses, Organic Studio Gregor Mendel, Waterman Serenity Blue, and (finally) Rohrer & Klingner Salix and Scabiosa. I've also got plenty of other bottles of ink both in samples and bottled form (too many to list here), but you can add me to the list of many who'd like a bottle (or two) of the upcoming Emerald of Chivor.

Iroshizuku Kon Peki and Tsuki Yo. My first two bottles of Iroshizuku, and my 2 most recent. Before that, I also purchased a bottle of Parker Quink Washable Blue, and those were my first three inks in quite some time.
Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
A bottle of Noodler's Canadian special - Blue Upon the Plains of Abraham, c/o the very kind Cyber6. A very nice ink; goes on a dark blue; dries to a pleasing dark blue-grey. It appears at first use to be quite similar in appearance & behaviour to Kobe #51 Kanou-chou Midnight.

Re: What Inks Have You Acquired Recently?
I was in a second hand store this weekend and found an old style bottle of Pelikan Washable Royal Blue and a bottle of Pelikan Brilliant Red (though in the bottle it doesn't look "brilliant" red) as well as some Speedball dip pen nibs.

A kind geek just sent me a sample of O.S. "Blue Merle". This one makes me begin to like blue ink!
