Invoice # 1050 arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA today. The colors are wonderful. I have already filled a few Preppies I had lying around. Thank you Shawn, Wim, and any other FPNers who were part of this. Also thank you to Nathan Tardiff for all his interesting inks and pens!

 

For those still waiting, hang on, these inks are worth waiting for.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

I used Starry Night for my most recent fill up. My coworker just frowned and said "I don't get it, its black." No! It isn't black, its the color of a blue/black midnight sky. "It's black."

 

Sigh. Infidels. :)

I am regretting not ordering the tulip color.... It looks so luscious in the post earlier in this thread!

 

Is it possible to get on the list for the new year's restocked supply?

Yes, of course, just place an order, that's all you need to do :).

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

I think just Wim and I. Nathan of course made the ink, so you should all inundate him with crazy fan mail. :P I'm sure he doesn't get enough. :roflmho: Gotta give most of the credit to Wim though. He came up with this crazy mind bending excel spreadsheet that has EVERYTHING on it and it organizes it self auto-magically. I can't even look at it for fear of blindness.

And that's how we get those awesome invoices.

All I do is box the stuff up. :)

A tip of the turbin to Shawn-ta Claus, who indeed made it a dark blue Christmas: my VGSNB arrived moments ago!

 

Thank you Shawn, Wim, and Nathan. I'm going to go spill a drop now... :)

If we want to pre order for the next round can we order the larger 4.5 oz size? Is Nathan able to do them in very small quantities? I have a 4.5 of Manuscript Brown but one of Tulipe Noire would be great (and possibly VGSNB after I get a chance to try it...)

Thanks for all the hard work and Happy Holidays!

Dear Shawn,

 

The ink arrived safely yesterday. It made me think: "That framed Goulet Pen Company Certificate of Over-the top Packaging Internship must look good on your wall."

 

However, there seems to be a problem. The Van Gogh ink that you sent is definitely blue/black. I have a blue/black ink already. Surely no one needs more than one blue/black ink. It is blue/black, what possible difference could anyone make in the manufacture? I'm sure you agree, but that doesn't matter. I now have more than one bottle of blue/black ink (the fact that I have had many more than one bottle of blue/black inks for quite a while is irrelevant. As far as I'm concerned, anyway.)

 

I won't be able to sleep until this is rectified. Please advise.

 

Very sincerely yours,

Jon Szanto

:unsure: ?? I would say:

You are wrong. Your other ink is blue-black. Van Gogh has gone beyond that: it is black-blue.

Jon,

 

VGSN is a vintage colour blue, with very great shading characteristics. It is a blue with undertones of grey, and it shades from very light greyish blue, to almost black navy blue.

 

So, no, it isn't blue-black, even if it could be used like that. :D

I'd suggest you use it in a pen with a nib that is capable of doing this ink justice, i.e., that is capable of delivering the variation in ink quantity and shading that this ink allows.

 

Warm regards, Wim

And there I was, using a Courier font to make it appear I was sending Shawn an old-fashioned, typed letter, fully certain my humor would come through. I didn't want to clutter it up with smilies, ruining the 'vintage' appearance of the post.

 

I can see it was a failure.

 

The post was a humorous one - I love the ink, and I have a *lot* of blue/black and black/blue inks. This one isn't just a keeper, but a common-use ink.

 

<sigh>

I've got my VGSN loaded in my new charcoal Safari - writing up a storm. Well - i'm in a Hotel with power and heat. The house is iced over. Power out - ice on everything - trees down - COLD. I'm SO SO SO glad my mom works at a hotel and that we get to 'visit' overnight. I heard power will be out for 7 or 8 days. :(

 

 

I got the humor. ;)

That's what you get when you ask for a rectification from people who will ALWAYS try to provide an answer, even when they know it is humour ;).

 

And yes, it is a common-use ink. I always have (at least) two pens loaded with it :D.

 

Warmest regards, Wim

Oh, dude, I wish you the best of luck - hopefully they'll get it done sooner!

I hope power will be back on sooner than that, too - but at least we're warm now. :) and I get my FPN fix.

Shawn,

Glad you and the family are safe and warm! Sounds like it was a significant storm (at least for your part of the country...my family in Chicago and NewYork always tease me when I complain about our measly amts of snow!)

Keep safe!

 

On another note, my FPN VGSNB has arrived in excellent condition, thank you for utilizing all of your aforementioned Goulet Packing skills!

Thanks again!

*Some* of us "got" it.... :thumbup:

I read your post and laughed like crazy. Especially since I have a bottle of PR Midnight Blues back in back order from my local pen shop. And then spent time at both Fountain Pen Hospital and Art Brown in NYC on Christmas Eve doing what? Why, shopping for blue-black inks, of course! :roflmho:

And yes, that *would* be inks (plural).... :rolleyes:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
