Montblanc Midnight Blue Sample - Australia

[FoszFay]

Hi again.

 

I recently posted about what blue black I should buy. After a few people replied I have decided on Montblanc Midnight Blue.

 

If anyone in Australia, preferably NSW, has any and is willing to send me a sample it would be much appreciated, as the cheapest I could find it for was $35 posted, which is quite expensive, and I don't want to risk having a bottle of ink sitting around not getting used.

 

Thanks.

I'm happy to send you a sample. I'm out of the country until the weekend 13th Sept so can send it then if you're happy to wait?

Thanks. That would be great. The only place I found to hold it is PenCity, but $35 plus shipping is pretty steep, especially seeing I don't really know the colour.

 

When you get back in Australia, just let me know and if I held off buy any ink I'll PM you.

 

Also, is your ink the newer non iron-gall or older iron-gall?

 

Thanks again!

its the newer non-iron gall

The pen shop I frequent stocks Montblanc Premium Colours Bottled Ink. The online store shows that they sell Midnight Blue.

 

Perhaps you could visit the shop and see if they'll let you sample the ink. ??

 

I've always had great friendly service. Most of my visits consist of trying pens out, asking questions and not actually buying anything. I'm hoping they'll be just as friendly and accommodating with you and let you sample some ink. I was just there last night and even when they had closed up shop, they were willing to answer my questions about ink!

 

The shop is called Pen-Ultimate and I frequent the QVB shop. They also have a shop in North Sydney and Chifley Plaza.

If you can find the old iron-gall formula, it is worth having in my opinion. It is my favourite ink out there (alongside R&K Scabiosa) and I love the intense colour it lays down. When I found out they were changing the formula to remove the iron gall content, I stocked up with 4 bottles

Happy to send you a sample if you wish to try this out too. I bought mine from two places - Melbourne Pen Depot (in Chadstone Shopping Centre - great place for inks btw!) which is cheaper than Pen City by about $5 ($30) and whilst I was holidaying in Malaysia I went to a Montblanc boutique and they had several bottles of the old formula for sale for US$19 per bottle!!
