I'm kinda sad cause I liked the old series. Anyway, the new names are pretty underwhelming and they are going to be priced higher. One thing for sure, the new bottle is possibly more useful cause you can tilt it sideways for a better fill.

It seems like they hired the same person who re-named the Waterman ink range.

I sure hope that this is not a renaming number. Three are new -- in comparison with the present 9. Some of the new names could fit the older names, e.g. Cosmic Black for Carbon.

We have a lot more official information to share - literally drafting up a blog post right now. This is a NEW line to replace the current line.

Great to hear! I find their 9 Earth Things great!! Expensive but for me, it's worth it. I just spent the last 15 min trying to find something about them online but have found zilch. IMO CdA's sites -- .com or .de etc -- pretty starving as re "info" or "search".

As soon as you have some online news about these new goodies, could you please share that with us?

 

New is the 50 ml instead of 30 ml.

As "aesthetic" as I find the old cube bottles, I hope the new ones are taller and slimmer (at least on the inside)!

Oh my!

Is it time to gather a cache of Grand Canyon? Or will the new Organic Brown be even better?

Thanks! That is indeed a great deal of information on your blog.

I now see it like this:

A. The new bottles IMO look ugly.Nevertheless, they still can't be as impractical as the oldies.<br style="box-sizing: border-box">B. Yes, most colours are totally new but I'm stillgoing to miss almost all of the oldies since none of these newbies has even theslightest resemblance. Especially Amazon, Grand Canyon.<br style="box-sizing: border-box">C. New price -- yikes -- kind of turns me offright now, completely.

 

Of course, I might possibly change my mind in a year or two.

Think ill get the new black, to compare with the "old" one, which is still in its sealed bottle! The pink, mind you, looks awesome. Can't wait to see real pictures of it. As for the other colors... Apart from the blues and the brown nothing tickles my fancy. What's more some of the names are silly. Calling a red ink "infra red"? What's wrong with the billions of more suitable names for red ink ?

On a quest to find the best black ink there is {on hold until i come up with good criteria}. Test subjects:

Caran d'Ache Carbon; J. Herbin Perle Noire; De Atramentis Black Edition - Black; Lamy Black; Montegrappa Black; Parker Quink Permanent Black; Pelikan Brilliant Black 4001; Sailor Kiwa-Guro Pigmented Nano Black.Not final list, PM me with further worthy test subjects

+ 1. Thank you very much for saying that which I myself should have said....

The names strike me as more perplexing than imaginative, all the more since they don't really seem to fit the colors they're attached to.

 

The blue described as idyllic doesn't seem so to me. I see idyllic blue as more of a sky blue.

 

The green doesn't seem very vibrant, or the blue very magnetic. The grey, whether infinite or finite, seems fairly pallid.

 

I would say that the turquoise does seem the most "hypnotic" of the lot.

For those wanting to stock up on the Colors of the Earth series, the best price I have found so far is at The Ink Flow: $16.00 a bottle.

I wonder if Caran d'Ache inks are still made by J. Herbin. Those before the Colors of Earth series actually came in J. Herbin bottles, but with Caran d'Ache labels. Current Bethge inks also come in J. Herbin bottles with Bethge labels.

      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
