Product Description
From Bungbox, a specialty stationery store in Tokyo, these free-flowing inks were formulated based on its popular, no-hassle formula. After noticing a strong interest within the Writing Community, we arranged an exclusive import directly with Bungbox’s gracious owner Read More
Drop just came out with 3 colours and straightaway the yellow colour is out of stock thus left only pink and brown. Drop is for 2 bots but option is to pick one colour only!? Could 2 bots be one colour each instead of 2 bots of the same colour.
RayFI didn't like brown inks until I got my hands on J. Herbin Lie de Thé and pelikan edelstein smoky quartz.
Now I kinda love them. Wet, broad nibs make brown inks look awesome, particularly on cream paper.
I agree on the pink. That color would be useful for art, but as far as pink goes, the magenta of pilot yama budo is about as pink as can be tolerable. Same goes for yellow, that's going to be completely unread-able. I don't know why it sold out first.
It is made by sailor in sailor bottles (which is why bungbox is now kind of a scam, it used to come in those lovely vial shaped bottles but now that it doesn't, the price hasn't dropped either) but bungbox inks are unique colors to the store in japan.
Doesn't mean I don't agree with you 110%. It is obnoxious as hell that sailor has doubled its prices for inks in the last 2 years while keeping one of the very worst bottle designs on earth, while pilot knocked 30% OFF it's prices for iroshizuku while still keeping the same top tier bottle design.
Annoys me all the further because tokiwa matsu is my favorite ink.
HoneybadgersSome time back I decided it was wise to stock up on inks you really like because as you describe, bottles and colors have simply become fickle marketing devices--here today, gone tomorrow!
