Brown Ink?

[smudge]

I love writing with my fountain pens, using parchment paper & think brown ink compliments it well. However, I can't find a retailer who sells brown bottled ink or ink cartridges. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

I used to use brown bottled ink. The make was (I think this is spelled right) Quink. I think that's part of the Parker range? I had to shop around a little but in the end I found it in one of the bigger W H Smiths.

Jules001 - thank you so much for the Sepia site info,  that's just what I've been looking for!

 

Also, stoo_pid, all my fountain pens are Parker & I currently use Quink blue ink & Parker cartridges. I shall now search the web for bigger branches of W H Smith, to see if they still supply brown ink/cartridges too.

 

T hank you both again.

you're welcome - just hope you don't live up to your name :)

Very humorous Jules, yes I do have plenty of blotting paper on hand just in case!

 

I'm just going to peruse that site again, as I love anything sepia - I think I was born in the wrong era!

I got hold of some rotring cartridges at an online pen/ink shp name of Blots.  Very nice place, they even send you a lovely seemingly hand made catalogue.  You can see their site at www.blotspens.co.uk/ Hope that's some use to you. Smudge shops at Blots-that'd make a nice headline.

Thank you raindog, nice to know others share my passion for brown ink, etc. I'll take a look at that, although it sounds like the website on the the first reply from Jules001? Thanks again.

There's the problem with not reading all other posts first. Sorry.

That's quite alright raindog, thanks for reading my question!
