Select 30ml Inks $11 (Was $14.95) + $10 Shipping (Free for Domestic Orders over $100) @ Van Dieman's Ink

40

Van Dieman's is overstocked with some colours so they've marked the 30ml bottles down by $3.95 to only $11 each. Shipping is extra and starts at $10 for regular post, domestic orders over $100 qualify for free Express Post, international orders over $200 get free standard shipping.

Here are answers to some common questions I get about these inks:

Does it bleed through paper?
I personally haven't had trouble with bleeding, but I also tend to use thicker paper that is less prone to it. I've tested on normal copy paper and it behaves well, and it's excellent on Rhodia, Tomoe River, or Clairefontaine. I haven't tried Moleskine or Field Notes paper.

Does it feather?
I have seen some feathering on very fibrous papers, smooth papers don't feather at all for me. If you're concerned then try using a finer nib, if possible.

Is it water resistant?
No. If it gets wet it will run, but for some people that's actually a benefit as they can use it for a wash as well. (One tip to reduce the effects of water is to wait for the ink to dry completely and rub the end of a white candle over it to give a coating of wax. Doesn't protect completely but will stop the odd drop from ruining your writing.)

What sizes can you get?
Van Dieman's stocks 30ml and 50ml sizes for most of their inks, but this deal is only for the 30ml size.
