Edelstein Sapphire

[stevesurf]

Well I figured while I'm waiting for my Herbin Inks, why not get my fingers into another three Edelstein colors (Topaz and Jade are next):

I would like to like that ink. Maybe I need to get bright desk lamps.

Mr. Smith, Try an OTT Lite, the bulbs are true color bulbs, and they last for quite a while. I have one at my desk at work, one at my desk at home, and one by the sofa at home. They are wonderful for reading, writing, and crafting. They go on sale often at JoAnn's, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby. I got all of mine on sale, or else I would not have bought them (they average $60-70 per lamp).

Inasmuch as much of my writing is for my eyes to read (at the time and later), I'll do that! My students get Yama Budo, but I have 73 inks other than Yama Budo.

 

Sometimes I feel like a drug addict. What was bright enough for me last week is too everyday for me this week. I get a blast of red-brown from Noodler's Beaver, and Noodler's Walnut isn't enough of a rush for me. I think that Nathan needs to make a "Noodler's Methadone" to get me back to accepting everyday inks, like Walnut.

First comes the intervention, then the Noodler's Methadone. Maybe FPN could arrange a group discount.

I blame the Goulet Ink Drop for getting hooked. Small amounts, nearly free, what could possibly go wrong? I'd go for the Noodler's Cold Turkey, but it's practically invisible on beige paper.

Yes as Goldspot Pens states it perfectly...

 

Several ways a drug addiction is similar to a pen addiction:

"Users" have a stock (or stash) of ink refills to fill up whenever they go empty.

When the ink runs out, the user gets into a frantic rush about finding refills and often has to hunt around town for a "dealer" and sometimes has to go online to find the specific compatible replacements.

Yes, pen shops are commonly referred to as "dealers."

There is a syringe involved. Some fountain pen users prefer to refill ink cartridges by using a blunt syringe and bottled ink.

So, if you or someone you know suffers from pen addiction. Please call us. :-P

Stevesurf, does Edelstein Sapphire fade a bit over time, rather like Pelikan Royal Blue, or does it stay the same color as upon initial drying? It's a lovely vibrant blue.

Just checked that note card I wrote on and there is very little fading!

That's it! Nathan's master plan!

 

I think he'll be filthy stinking rich..

 

So where do I get some?

 

Just a sample to start (the Noodler's) I have the Edelstien Sapphire, and it only looks OK in one pen, the rest it just comes out as a plain dull blue, especially compared to Parker Penman Sapphire!

"""especially compared to Parker Penman Sapphire!"""

 

Comparing apples and pineapples again.

Soft ink vs too saturated for it's era.
