Levenger True Teal

[lapis]

Hi there!

 

I was really hot about checking out this ink because my father used to shoot such Mallard ducks and I still remember exactly what colour the necks that the males had.

This is my first attempt to fill out an official ink review form (just because it saved time) so please excuse any inconveniences.

All in all, this ink could have been (seeng as how I am so picky) somewhat more illuminating, radiating, shiny, but of course, it is "only" an ink and [is not] and/or [cannot be} equivalent to a real animal.

Hey, wanna hear a dirty joke? "Can ducks' true teal necks feather?"

 

 

All in all, this colour of ink is better than I expected. It is, as true as possible today, a nice resemblence of a male Mallard duck's neck, and by no means any colour of a slate with blue and/or green.

Last but not completely least, the Levenger glass bottle itself here is great, as is the box it's in.

 

lots o' luck, whatever you pick.

Interesting - must get me one of those Dipstick I dunno's they look like they may be my 'grail'

 

Thanks for the review - yes I would like a dark blue-green and Levenger's inks have never come into my thinking before now - oh great I wonder what the shipping is going to be to the UK.....All your fault!

 

Seriously - an interesting ink (i.e. I like it) and no worries about the form - it looks fine.

 

BTW - I don't get the joke.

I recently purchased it and in my Pilot 78g with a BB nib its a nice "teal". Thanks for the review.

I see that you're living in the UK. TWD doesn't seem to support Levengers. SO, (no I don't work for him) get ahold of Rolf Thiel at http://www.missing-p...afacwww.missing pen. de

He has everything and, since we're both in the EU, no taxes.

All the best

Great review, nice colour, thanks.

I just filled a pen with this ink yesterday. I quite like it and find it to be one of the best behaved Levenger inks of the ones I've tried.

Wonderful review!! On the waterproof part of the form it says 1m =15? Can you tell me what that means? I am trying to get water resistant inks, ones that can handle a little water but aren't necessarily waterproof. Thanks for your help!
