Another review for fun. This time its Turkisgrun! beautiful color, always wanted a turquoise green, cause turquois is my birthstone and just wanted some marine greenish color. Have you noticed that this color is very common on female clothing?? Its sort of feminine and is sorta awkward color to take notes with hahahaha. i get looks..... i swear.

This is macro with Ohto Tasche.

Macro showing difference in color. Is it obvious to others as it is to me??

The bottle is also cool that it is a pen stand, but it feels cheaply made because there is a crease right down the middle that juts out and makes it an unstable platform for larger pens.

So I want some feedback about my revies. So im curious about a few things and please be honest..

 

Do i post too many pictures?

Are my pictures too big?

Are my pictures even accurate on everyone elses monitors?

Any other suggestions?

 

Oh yeah my grammar and spelling sucks, no need to mention about that, haha.

Thanks for the reviews and Mazel Tov on the nib. Is that the same bottle as the Herbin?

Sigh... another ink I'll have to add to my collection, in quest of the perfect turquoise! The pictures are great, thanks.

 

If you like this color you may want to try Sheaffer Skrip green, which actually is more teal than green. Another fun mix is 50% blue suede & 50% Sheaffer green, for a greenish turquoise.

 

If I can ever get my scanner to work again I'll post images -- some day...

Judging by the bottle and (I think) Betty's own remarks about this ink, it is made by J. Herbin for Caran D'Ache. Some years back, they had different bottles and presumabnly different origin.

 

Concerning your reviews: they are great, the there can't be enough pics, their size is alright and achieving the same colour appearance on different (no-calibrated) monitors is nearly impossible.

 

BTW: sorry about the suboptimal picture quality I can publish, my only digicam is a Casio Exilim EX Z3, and my lighting possibilites are limited, currently.

Yup, I think it's made by Herbin not only because of the same bottle, but even the bottom of the bottle is stamped "Herbin".

 

Dudley, great review and I think your blue Tasche looks so much better than my pink one. This review makes me get out my own bottle and use it. I haven't used it in a while.

Woah, i never thought of looking at the bottom, how neat! big fat "J. HERBIN" stamped right on there.

Does anyone know how the Caran d'Ache turquoise green compares to the Caran d'Ache Colors of the Earth Caribbean Sea?

According to Michael Richter's review, Turquoise Green is "similar in color but more intense and slightly darker" than Caribbean Sea.

 

Bye.

That's a lovely turquoise green. Haven't seen this brand in my local pen shop though.

Fun review. :)

I'm curious, too. Does anyone know a place that still have the old bottle? Or, is it the same color as one of Herbin colors?

I have the Ohto Tasche also and I really like the way it writes..

This color looks exactly like Sheaffer Green in the bottle - which is a very nice turquoise green. However, I have some Sheaffer Green cartridges and they are a true green - not a turquoise green.

So many pens, so little time!

      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
