Presenting FPN Van Gogh Starry Night Blue:

Yippee! I can't wait!

Second best news I've heard all day. Does this mean that I'll be able to order the first two inks as well? (hope, hope, hope)

Spooky P.

I would like to order 3 bottles and two manuscript brown through the other link. Can you give another water test? I saw the other test you did. It seemed like black remained. Is this ink the same type as what pendemonium calls Near-Bulletproof?

Dave

Yes, you can order the other inks as well. All are available.




What kind of other water test? I don't know how it showed up on the monitor, but in person it looks to me like a dark purple that remained, kind of like the Tulipe Noire. Or do you mean for the Manuscript Brown? That ink is bulletproof. The other two are standard inks and if they have any water resistance, it's a bonus.

Terrific news, Elaine. I've been anxiously awaiting the blue so I could have you send all together the Manuscript Brown and the Tulipe Noire you're holding for me. When can we officially order the blue (I want two bottles) and how do I go about getting an invoice for all 3 colors?
Many thanks!

My order is in!

So is mine!

We love you, Elaine! Thank you for all the hard work you've done and are doing on this.

I am hoping someone will soon have the opportunity to compare this ink to Noodler's Midnight Blue, to see whether it is actually discernibly different

I really want to give some applause to both Elaine and NeoTiger for their work on this. (I'll be ordering mine tomorrow; I need to decide how many bottles first.)

Me three!

I'll send you a sample if you do the comparison.

And many thanks to you for the font!!!!!!!

I have to ask a really stupid question that I don't think has been answered...

Is this a "bulletproof" or permanent ink?

I think I found my answer on the ordering page... it looks like the brown is the only one that is permanent.

A beautiful blue ink.... I've got mine ordered.

Hooray, thanks everyone! Glad it's finally over. And now I can get my Tulipe Noir, too!

How delicious. Thanks so much for all the work behind the scenes that none of us will ever fully know about in bringing these three custom inks to our membership! 3 bottles ordered just now!

Thanks Elaine and all others involved, great effort!!!

I am excited times 3!!! Now I not only will get the new blue but my Dumas and Galileo inks will be heading my way. I know they will have been worth the wait!!

WoooHooo!

I appreciate the offer, but I'd rather just buy it than spend the time and energy required for a comparison I am just too swamped with too many things right now.

But perhaps some other kind and generous soul will volunteer

Hi Elaine:
It's hard to tell from the scans... would you say this is closer to PR Midnight Blues (kind of green/cyan based) or Black Magic Blue (some purple in it)?
What I'm getting looks very close to PR Midnight Blues...
Eric

Sorry, I don't have either PR Blues. I don't see any green or purple in it though.

Mo-om, is it ink yet??

*fidgets in the corner*



Ok, I know it's only been a week. I'm still eager, though.

Ordered mine yesterday and am waiting impatiently.


Jim

I have been told that the ink should arrive on my doorstep by the end of this coming week. Shipping it out will begin as soon as it does!

Thanks for the update.

Jim

Hoo, boy! I can hardly wait. Since I had my order of Manuscript Brown and Tulipe Noire held until the FPN blue ink was ready to ship, now I'll get to see what all the fuss is about with Galileo Manuscript Brown, Dumas Tulipe Noire AND Van Gogh Starry Night Blue inks. What a treat to look forward to. Thanks for the update, Elaine.

My e-mailed invoice for all 3 arrived today.

And today, the check is in the mail... Yeah, I know it sounds like a
cliche.

Hopefully they will have put it in bottles, otherwise you will have a colorful doorstep.
