That depends a lot on what sort of pen kits you want.
There are lots of suppliers of the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese kits, for a high quality kit try Beaufort ink good service from them too.

The penturners forum is quite high traffic and will give you specific recommendations.

I find https://www.penkitzandbitz.co.uk are very good quality and they seem to import PSI kits as well. Pricey but I think worth it. Just a satisfied customer.
