M&m Turquoise - Ink Review


Venemo

Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

 

This is my first review on this forum, about an ink that I've been using for a couple of months and so far I like. Hope you enjoy!

 

Here are our test subjects:

M&M Turquoise ink, Montblanc Noblesse, Parker Jotter.

And of course, the hand-written review:

Here is a small sample on some very cheap paper, which produces some subtle bleed-through:

Summary

 

This is a pretty nice and likeable ink. It's totally easy to use. (You can even leave your pen uncapped for a while, and it doesn't dry or clog, just becomes a bit darker.) It lubricates quite well, but not too much and gives a smooth experience. I like the color, but it's rather blueish, not very turquoise. Dry time is about 5-6 seconds, and it doesn't smudge at all after that.

 

If you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve this review (or maybe how to make a better one next time), please answer this topic. :)

Good review..

Where are M & M inks ??

:happyberet:

 

I bought it in a Müller shop, which is a pretty common chain in Central Europe - it's basically a drugstore that also sells stationery products, toys, leather products, and other stuff.

Wonderful review! Thank you.

 

So where do we find this brand if we aren't nearby. ..and do yoy think it would be worth shipping?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

To be honest, I'm not sure where elso to find it.

Would it be worth shipping? Well, that depends on the shipping cost, but I don't think this ink is that special, so don't let them rip you off with high shipping costs.

Is it just me that can only see the actual hand-written review sideways on and it's quite small?

 

If it's not just me, please is it possible that it could be rotated 90 degrees clockwise and made just a bit bigger?

 

I really like the colour of this ink

Hi Chrissy!

Sure, I'll fix it for you when I get home later today.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
