    Default FpGeeks Ink Exchange

    I thought it would be useful to have a place on FpGeeks where people could list inks they have to trade, desired inks, and then possibly exchange ink samples with others.

    I could have started a trade post, but this might be a useful place for others to trade inky goodness. Post away your desires.

    What are you planning on using for the samples? My sample vials still have the samples in them... (Incidentally, having just finished a whole bunch of medical procedures, I hate the word sample - does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative...?)

    I'd love to try Ancient Copper, and can offer Diamine Graphite?

    I use sample vials from Goulet's, but fill them to around 5ml. This is a good excuse to reuse the vials.

    Hmmm. I prefer the word 'sample'

    Is this a US only sample exchange?

    I don't see why it should only focus on one country. Join up.

    That said, I probably won't be sending single ink vials to Poland—maybe five—but not one. Konrad from KWZ sent me 10 samples two years ago for free.

    Fred, I thought of the same word.
