    Default Ink Vials?

    Does anybody know where I can find the vials (or similar ones) that are commonly used for ink samples? I know somebody on FPN used to sell them but I'm wondering if there are any places online I can stock up.

    Thank you!! I actually checked there before posting but couldn't find any (I was looking in with the empty ink bottles). Best price out of the three plus reasonable shipping? No brainer.

    Stoockwell Scientific sells directly through Amazon. Cost/unit is less than 9 cents.

    I searched for "plastic vials" on amazon and didn't find any. Lots of glass, but none like the plastic ink sample vials. What search term did you use?

    I purchased glass ink vials off eBay . Very cheap and big enough for number 6 nibs to fit right inside the vial

    I don't know what I would do with 1,000 of them, but that's definitely a great price, thanks.
