You may also wish to check out the SCA scribal e-mail groups, you can do google archive searches, perhaps: :
Scribes <scribes at castle.org>; (soon to become: scribes at antir.sca.org )
and the Scribal group on Yahoo: Scribes_Yahoo <sca_scribes_and_illumination at yahoogroups.com>;
You can view their archives and perhaps find recipies.
Have you checked out the links on the Ansteorran Scribes website: http://scribe.ansteorra.org/
That should be a start in your search and will make you dizzy! Merchants also listed there.
Other scribal merchants include:
John Neal Books: http://www.johnnealbooks.com/
Paper and Ink Arts: http://www.paperinkarts.com/
Kremer Pigments: http://kremerpigments.com/
Natural Pigments: http://naturalpigments.com/
And SCA scribal merchants:
Ellen of the Scholars (sells at Gulf Wars)
Brother Karl (also at Gulf Wars):
and several great ones at Pennsic, but I can't find merchant lists.
And there are a number of books on the market that have more details as well.
Cheers, Hillary

Thank you all for the wonderful information. I am actually asking for non
SCA reasons. I work at a museum that does living history programs three
times a year and in between our events our ink drys out. We typically use
quill on paper. The James Townsend looks like it will work beautifully.
Though I may tease our maintenance crew by suggesting that they collect the
lamp black for us we do have a fairly ready supply at the end of our
December event. I will check on the other resources for SCA purposes as
well.
Thank you all,
Pippa
