Thanks for introducing me to one I'd never think to try, but now have added to my ever lengthening list of wants...

This is one of my favourites. I have it in my MB149 that I am using today. I agree it has a nice flow. I think it flows even a little better than the MB standard blue ink. I recommend trying it.

Filling a fountain pen is much more fun than changing a printer cartridge

You're welcome Yure, I mean Ghost. I'd like to take a crack at Noodler's as well, but there aren't any B&M shops that carry them...

Thanks Pep! It's going to replace SSB with this because it feathers on cheap paper.

 

For some odd reason, MB Violet is an elusive ink... None of the local shops in my area carry the ink!

Immoteus, which one feathers on cheap paper, SSB or MB Turq?

The colour and quality of this ink depends greatly on the instrument-in my Lamy 2000 its wonderful, full of colour and depth, in my old aero P51 it was very watery with no real depth...

Good review. Thanks.

 

I am not a fan of blue ink since I was constrained to blues and blacks as a kid during the dark ages. However, this ink is my all time favorite blue and I love it. I have yet to have this ink misbehave in any pen. I think your scan gives a good idea of the color of the ink, but I doubt there is a scanner available that can capture the shimmering translucence of this ink in person! During the dark, cold days of winter, this ink is a great mood booster.

I am currently using this very ink and I must agree 100% with the OP review. It seems better than the Visconti turquoise I got with my pen. In fact the Van Gogh seems to like the MB ink better... though that could be because of the initial fill. I am again going to try the Visconti turquoise on my next fill and see. The Visconti is slightly lighter, but faster to dry. It is also a beautiful colour, with a tad less shading - it is more uniform than the MB.

Oh great! NOW I have another ink to add to my want list! Actually, I have been looking for a good turquoise and this may be it. The problem is my husband has pointed out that I now have more ink colors than I have pens (how observant of him). I naturally said well then I obviously NEED more pens! Lashelle

I wonder if that'd work with my boss? If so, I need urgently to go on an ink buying spree.

I forgot that I ought to have added that my MB turquoise ink is a year or two older than the Visconti which may have made the difference in shade/darkness comparison.

I just bought this on a whim, and I love it!!!

The only other turquoise I've used was Waterman south seas, and I didn't like its electric intensity.

The MB turqoise has a calmer hue that is easy on the eyes, and I just find it to be beautiful. I'm always amazed at how small differences in color and saturation can make such a difference. I can't believe a turquoise is now my favorite ink! :bunny01:

      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
