    De Atramentis Archive Ink (Possibly - still reading reviews)
    Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite
    Perhaps a few Callifolio inks

    Diamine Damson, Merlot, Amaranth, Matador, Eau de Nil, Claret, Sherwood, Bilberry, Ancient Copper, Kelly Green.

    I will never bring myself to buy the Iroshizukus. It's tragic.
    Noodler's both Black Swans, Bulletproof black, Kung te Cheng. Bad Blue Heron (I think). How I'm going to get hold of these in Spain God only knows.

    More of a wish list, than a to buy list.

    Next weekend it's getting shortened.

    Another bottle of Eidelstein Topaz, a bottle of MB Racing Green (my grail ink....at $75 per bottle thing aren't looking to hopeful though ), some Asa Blue, and some minty color.

    Hey, does anyone have a bottle of a dry green ink they would want to trade for a 4/5 full bottle of Diamine Kelly Green? KG is a great ink but it bleeds through too much for school.

    I have a bottle of Kelly Green 4/5 full that I'd trade for a dryer green or mint ink. (Non noodlers, nice saturation, no bleed through feathering...)

    I hope you enjoy the Cayanne, a great shader. I was a bit disappointed at first thinking it was a slightly muddy orange brown but that was due to not flushing the blue out of my new Lamy. Oh an remember to shake the bottle first.
    Sherwod Green sounds nice too.

    So much for having a "to buy list."
    I just bought Noodler's Purple Martin.

    I'm using some samples to try to narrow down my preferences so I can eventually buy three or four bottles of ink. I already have Noodler's BP Black, which I think is an excellent basic ink.

    So far, I'm leaning toward:
    Blue: Noodler's Midway Blue
    Green: Private Reserve Spearmint
    Brown: Noodler's Kiowa Pecan (though I'm using the Golden Brown now and like it, too)

    I love purples and pinks but so far haven't found one of either that screams "buy me". I've still got a few more samples to try. Hopefully one of them is The One.

    I've always liked the name of Private Reserve's Purple Mojo but PR inks are hard to come by here.
    It appears to be very intense purple which could be worth a try.

    You're not missing much. Purple Mojo is similar to Diamine Lavender, except that it is more saturated and takes forever to clean out of a pen. I gave my bottle away and kept the Diamine.

    Noodler's Walnut is a pretty good dark brown in my opinion

    I pretty much source all of my inks these days from the Gouley's or Art Browns lately 8-10 bottles to get discounts and efficient freight costs, closer to home Melpens and/or Pen Gallery in Malaysia do stock PR inks - prices are OK and freight is cheaper than from the US.

    iroshizuku inks are very premiumly priced but my Pilot Custom 742s seem to work the best when I have then inked with them.

    It is. My daughter tried a sample and I would say Pelikan Violet is just as good but not as hard to clean. PR Purple Mojo just kept coming out of her pens when flushing it.

    One look at the box and bottle and it's gone straight to the top of my list 2012 J. Herbin 1670 Ocean Blue. That's all I'm really planning for right now. I have a number of samples waiting to be tried, but I'm actually feeling like I have too much ink already.



    What did I say, too much ink!? I think I'd better go lie down for a bit.....

    I find myself craving a bottle of Apache Sunset. I wonder why....

    Purple Mojo appears to be a very persistent ink.
    Just as well I'm purpled enough with Purple Martin, Poussiere de Lune, Nightshade and at a stretch BSiAR. Not sure if I need a violet in the collection or not.

    Tempted to get Noodler's Heart of Darkness as everyone mentions it and not Dark Matter.

    Yes. Yes, you do.

    BTW, how accessible are Noodler's inks in Oz?
