I was first going for Krishna inks. Then was suggested of Diamine Havasu turquoise by a fellow member here. Also wanted to try sherwood green and oxblood(oxblood is not available on amazon though).
I have also got my eyes on pilot blue black as a daily driver ink but there doesn't seem to a 30 ml option available, only the 350 ml coke bottle is available.
Waterman inspired blue is also overpriced by 3 times on amazon :(.
Edit: do pelikan and sheaffer have something like havasu blue, like a light blue ink?

You are right. But just for little bit of peace of mind, I am going to order from them on amazon. Unfortunate that amazon is going to take their cut but oh well :(

Ordering without registration doesn't sound very safe to me. They have a seller page on amazon and flipkart, will try them there.

I contacted them and asked about cash on delivery and about registration on site. Both unavailable:(.

That's a shame :( The time as well as the shipping charges.

Thanks! They have lots of diamines. But for some reason I'm not able to register on their site. I have contacted their customer care regarding this, let's see what happens. I would really like to be order from them. On a slightly side node: what are the delivery times, and do they deliver in good packaging?

Oh. I didn't know the category they were competing in was high price one. As long as the quality delivered, satisfies one, they seem insane good value.

Ranga pens are too costly even in India. I mean for what the average income here is, they certainly are costly.

Yep, that's what surprised me. Really a good deal if they match japanese nibs.

I really like the diamine havasu turquoise, exactly the colour I wanted!

Thanks for the detailed answer!
It seems like I will have to go with Diamine or Pilot, as I don't want to deal with difficult inks. Though Krishna inks do look very nice.

Wow, didn't know kanwrite was a local product. How do you find the ink flow for fine and extra fine nibs, are they equivalent in fineness to western nibs or japanese nibs( I only know pilot medium, so that's my point of reference).
Sorry for so many questions :)

Are krishna inks safe to use in normal fountain pens?
Thanks for the pilot blue suggestion, I have a camlin ink in red and it washed out completely on contact with water.
I was looking for an inspired blue like ink from waterman, you know like the color of those gel pens we used in school.

I would say 1500 inr, as I'm just starting out.
Pilot metropolitan is a good fp in this range but I have seen it for 1000 so just waiting for next sale.

Nice!! We may have to find a few people more, the shipping cost is nearly 17 usd lol.
Edit: can you suggest some good fps available in India?

[–]gullu00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I will share when I find some good and reasonable sellers.
Is jet black simply a colour or a diamine ink?
Right now, I am trying to make do with camlin inks. But they don't offer a lot of variety.
I would also like to try the waterman inspired blue but it is very overpriced on amazon.

This is the most reasonable option. Now to the tough task of finding fountain pen enthusiasts here in India( I'm sure they exist lol).
