Ink suggestions??

It looks like I've got a free bottle of ink to choose from on my next order at pen chalet. You guys have any suggestions? I was thinking about a bottle of edelstein or maybe a bottle of caran d'ache. Not sure what color.

I'm a big fan of Diamine inks. My current favourites are green black and raw sienna.

I'll check those out. I have a nice diamine velvet blue along with several of their shimmering inks and they've all been great

Diamine inks certainly rock and are very consistent batch to batch.

I have a collection of 25 or so pens ranging from humble lamy safaris to the mont blan agatha Christie. After going through many brands I settled on waterman and pelican as best for color and for the pens. Since I m rarely able rose each I. Rotation, I do clean each with cool water before putting it back in the case.

I ended up going with a bottle of Iroshizuku ama-iro. I have several turquoise inks already but this is really really bright and vibrant! Runs very well in the 3776 Century. That music nib is like a paint brush with crisp edges

I really like the Pilot Iroshizuku inks! Good choice!

Did you get the larger 50ml or the 15ml bottle? I am also a bottle freak and the Iroshizuku are some of my favorites after the Akkermans and the Montblanc shoes.
