    Default B&B Ink Update?

    I know things got a little Morse, binary, hex, whatever toward the end of the thread but I'd love to know if there is an update that won't get everyone's ink in a splash?

    IT'S HERE!!!

    I spoke with all the parties involved just today- We should be having an announcement shortly. The samples of ink have been tested and approved so we are just finalizing the artwork and manufacturing details.

    There will be plenty of notice and more detail as they become available.

    I've ordered a new pen just for this ink I want you to know. It is waiting here forlorn and inkless.

    I bought a vintage Parker 51 expecting this ink to be my number one ink. I suspect a few others have done the same.

    Guys from B&B buy a new pen in anticipation of the private stock ink? Say it ain't so.

    I'm glad to hear that this ink is close to fruition, especially given how busy Mr. Tardiff has been trying to meet the high demands on the Noodler's flex pens. I must admit that I've been eyeing a vintage Sheaffer for the occasion.

    I am very interested in fountain pens, and this has me all excited. I see a trip to Paradise Pens in my future.

    Sorry to say, it is so. I read a post here about the TWSBI Diamond 530 Fountain Pen on the 'bay and decided to make the plunge and save it for this ink.

    Is there going to be a limit on bottles of ink overall? Don't want to catch it late and miss out!
    Now, off to buy a new pen.

    I went into an antique store today. I walked out with a beautiful blue Esterbrook J Series. This should keep me busy until the ink arrives.

    I've already got a lot more ink than I need, which will keep me busy until I can buy the B&B ink that I don't need.
