Turquoise Ink That Has A Sheen

January 13, 2015

Hello,

Now that I am all out of Montblanc Dandy Turquoise I am looking for a replacement. I am now looking for a turquoise ink that pops but most of all has a sheen like Dandy Turquoise did. Waterman Blue Inspiration was beautiful but it didn't work. I would love some suggestions.

I posted a picture from Sbrebrown's inkcyclopedia review below.

Thanks

Pace

My favorite is Noodler's Navajo Turquoise. Great sheen, the color is not quite as blue, tends a bit more to the green. Might want to get a sample from one of the websites and try it out. While you are at it, try a Diamine Turquoise or two -- there are more than one.

Best of luck,

My bottle of Lamy turquoise has a good sheen.

Although it's a dry ink, Pelikan Turquoise has a nice red sheen in a wet pen. It showed up even in my lamy EF nib!

Hi Pace,

I compared a couple turquoise inks a while back and the closest ink match I could find to the MB Dandy Turquoise is the Pelikan Turquoise, which also has a very similar pinkish sheen -- in a wet pen as benay148 noted. Here are pics of the two. I hope this helps!
