I had heard a great deal about this colour, but nobody was able to describe the colour very well to me. Thank you for posting this review.

Hello! Is this 1990's Parker Penman ink? I used to love Penman sapphire blue, but it ruined two piston-filled pens, a Pelikan M800 and an OMAS Milord. It was necessary for both pens to have the barrels replaced. I hope you won't suffer any ill effects from Penman ink, but you might want to flush your pen often.

 

Regards, Robert

 

 

No matter where you go, there you are.

Thanks for the review. I would like to see it from a drier nib to see if more of the green comes out and not so dark. Have you tried that yet?

Robert,

 

I am sorry to hear of your troubles but I have often seen comments about problems with Penman inks and yet yours is the first actual example from someone who has had a problem themselves that I have read. Is it significant that both pens were piston fillers? I don't know, but I have used Penman inks for many years now in different convertor-filled pens without any trouble. But thank you for posting real-life evidence.

 

ps I hope this is not highjacking or some other thread crime!

 

Chris

I know these bottles are at least 20 years ago because that's when this former Parker employee retired, and had a bunch of unopened bottles and pens from when he worked there. The Emerald looks gorgeous after all this time, and I thought I would post an update in this thread with a finer nib.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

      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
