Ink Sample inventory 2014-12-22

cflee's ink sample inventory

All samples are from Goulet.

Some of the blues have previously been very amateurly and messily swabbed (jpg) because I forgot which blue ink was in which pen.

Samples available for trade/giveaway

I don't mind giving these away, since I've already tried them and they're not quite to my liking. Trades are welcome!

Volume (ml) Ink Remarks
1.75 Noodler's Zhivago I more or less use F/EF pens so this just seems to be black to me
1.75 Noodler's Lexington Gray It's really a light gray
1.75 Noodler's La Reine Mauve Gorgeous colour, but dries very fast on the nib, leaves residue
1.75 Noodler's Fox Red Red in the vial, but seems very orange-y when written
1.50 Platinum Pigmented Blue Not bad, but I have the excellent Sailor Sei-Boku for a pigmented dark blue (and I prefer 54th Massachusetts' colour over this)
1.25 Noodler's Upper Ganges Blue Bit too bright for me
1.25 Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses Love the colour but unfortunately it's deliberately designed to not be fully waterproof
1.00 Noodler's Kung Te-Cheng Nice colour, but dries very fast on the nib, leaves residue

I have a bottle of Sailor Sei-Boku, don't mind giving a few ml if you have a vial.

Undecided

Probably would use these again at some point, so I'd prefer to trade for something else I'm interested in.

Volume (ml) Ink Remarks
2.00 Noodler's Black
1.75 Noodler's Luxury Blue
1.50 Noodler's Polar Brown
1.50 Noodler's Hunter Green

Keeping and using

Definitely keeping and using these inks, not that there's much left.
