Anyone tried the Birmingham inks yet?

Yes. I like the colors I have, and I haven't had any problems with them. I think they are made by De Atramentis.
You can get a sampler package of all the inks they make (quite a selection) for $15.00. It's a fun package.

Yes, and they're really nice. He's adding more colors too.

They're currently offering a set of all 15 inks for US$90... sooooooo tempting.
I live in the Pittsburgh area and purchased them. I honestly don't care much for them. I don't think the colors are very vibrant.

I've since picked up the 9-piece "places" set, I really like the darker shades, but you're right, the brighter colours could be more saturated.
I've got ten now, and I enjoy them immensely. They're all wet and saturated, and have interesting muted (but not faded) colours.

I wrote that after my first four arrived. Need to do an update, really!
I got a few samples, and so far only tried 1 (Blaue Black aka Boiler Steam)
Ink is well behaved and the color is a muted blue black, as I expected.
