Pelikan M800 Ib - Ink Choice


rrs

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

My Pelikan M800 with IB nib turned up to in the post! Bringing a very large smile to my face upon seeing the pen and nib!

 

Pure Class, Seduction and sultryness! (made up word/or spelt wrong) in a box!

 

My dilemma now is which ink do I use:

 

Aurora Black

 

or

 

J Herbin Perle Noire?

 

Anyone with any experience's of using these inks with M800 range?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Why not just try both and then go with to one you like, someone else's choice might not be to your liking.

True I could ink the pen with both inks.

 

I know how these inks look like on paper as I have two Lamy Joy's inked with each ink.

 

Yes the final choice would be mine, the reason for asking was to save a little time and also get other people's experience who probably have a lot more experience than me who is a novice. Plus it is called a forum for a reason!

 

Cheers for your input Paul.

Dip both, then get more inks and dip all of them, then choose one, then fill the pen, then get another pen, go to beginning, do it again, you will end up with a collection of pens and inks, provided you still do not have them.

But above all: Enjoy pen and inks!

Thanks for that. I personally don't need to go through that process to buy a pen. I buy the pen for the pen and if I like it.

 

Plus you're suggestion which is greatly appreciated does not answer or shed any light on forum post.

 

Cheers

Perle Noire. Just because.

Thank you Berno, could I request that you share the experiences or views you have had that has led you to pick J Herbin Perle Noire?

      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
