J. Herbin 10ml Bottled Inks (5-Pack)
So we save $6 then pay $4 in shipping?
Also, there's a 10ml 5 packs on amazon and jetpens for $22 but it's different ink "J Herbin Scented Ink Samples"

I hope these answers help clarify a bit ...
WARNING! LONG EXPLANATION TO FOLLOW:
It *is* a very popular ink. If you're just getting started, it might be better to ease into these inks with samples. Samples can be had for purchase at a number of online vendors. The Goulet Pen Company is very popular (for good reason), but they're not the only ones. I would recommend checking out their site and/or fpn if you want more info about the ink and...

A few things about this drop worthy of mention from your friendly neighborhood Gonzo:
First off, this post is about the drop and not the ink in particular. For ink reviews, there are many on Youtube and throughout the interwebs.
Here are few points about the drop:
1. Online retail price for these bottles seems to bounce between $10 - $12/bottle. Very occasionally, you might find something for $9-ish, but you also need to check if shipping is...

Meitachi, the examples you provided are pretty impressive. Also, thank you and MikeJamrock for your very kind words.
Determining accuracy of ink color and behavior is very tricky when relying entirely on what you see on your screen, but there are things you can do to mitigate the issues. In no particular order,
look at a number of different swab/swatch examples. The two provided by Meitachi are excellent. Another options is to go to:...

Good advice, ZALHERA.
To add to your comment for dedalian, this is how I make sure all of my inks last as long as possible.
To make sure my inks stay "fresh", I fill my pens by drawing from a 7ml sample vial. As needed, I refill my vials from the main bottle. Each transfer from main bottle to vial is about 5ml. I also make sure all my vials are properly labelled. This way, I can keep my 10-12 inks accessible, don't worry about emptying a...

I use both the Bleu Nuit and Eclat de Sapphir. I've also had a sample vial of de lune. It's very similar to Montblanc lavender purple. Saphir is more color saturated and a bright blue color. The other, Bleu Nuit, more muted blue jeans blue. I like them both. Wasn't fond of the purple but I know quite a few people who are. they are easy to clean up very well behaved, and reasonably priced.
Goulet Pen sells the 100ml bottles for $22...

Sure, SpiralGuy,
I use vials from the used ink samples I've gotten from Goulet Pens. The Goulets also sell the vials on their own (10 for $3), but I wouldn't place an order just for the vials if that's what you're interested in.
As I also use these vials for ink swaps, I like that they have the ml markings on them: 6 markings, the first 5 are labelled 1-5ml.
They have secure screw tops and are plastic (so are less prone to break). While they...

JonasHeineman ,
This is great news! Thanks for your efforts with this and for extending it the extra day. As it is the most popular of the 3 varieties, how much more were you able to score?
One of the great things about this drop, in particular, is the ability to order one of each. Other drops have been for 2 bottles of one color and 1 bottle of another. I ask about the quantities because there's always the concern that some may try to...

Hey GonzoTGreat,
Thanks so much for your response. It was not too long. I have ordered samples from Goulet Pen Company twice, and they are running a tad low, so the reason I'm here is to get into my first bottled inks. I've also used MD for some pens and EDC items before, and I agree completely with your opinions about waiting a little longer for a quality product with quality customer service and community. I am a cheap, patient materialist...
