Dear FPN friends.

 

This is my first review of a Pelikan Edelstein ink. I am a Pelkian Fan of both the inks and the pens.

 

The Edelstein ink is a case of Pimp-my-Ink.... What is that??? Well there are certain Companies that produce several line of inks. They every now and then put a special line of inks on the market. For example

 

 

  • Faber Castell vs Graf von Faber Castell
  • Pelikan 4001 vs Pelikan Edelstein
  • Ink of the year etc... Like J Herbin's

 

What are the differences

 

  • Fancy packiging
  • (slightly) changed recipe
  • other colours
  • more saturation
  • and of course a HIGHER PRICE

Not every point will be aplicable on any ink but just to give you an Idea of the possibilities

 

Pelikan Edelstein Aventurine

 

This is an example of a Pimp-my-Ink ink. The ink comes in a beautiful bottle for €13,95 at La Couronne du Comte

 

Generally I can say that the ink behaves very well like all the Pelikans I have tested so far

Shading is visible here but not expressed this strong in all my handwritten texts

Blow my nose with ink

 

The Colour I woud call a medium dark green. Darkness depends on the nib. The ink is lighter in a finer nib

 

Shading is little to medium dependent on nib and paper. Therefore the ink sinicerely saturated

Adventurous Green it is.... Jungle Joy :)

 

Ink Behaviour

 

As mentioned before this ink too behave very well. On the sheet down here I forgot to mention the drying tim... QUICK 5 seconds in F nib

Waterproof

 

This ink is not waterproof at all. This is not a probem the ink was not meant to be permanent Down here is the result of my usual Jacques Cousteau DIving Experience fo Inks

 

http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a617/Morbus_Curiositas/Pelikan%20edelstein%20Aventurine/Pelikan%20Aventurinn%20Waterproof_zpsttokzelk.jpg

 

This is the result after only one minute at 20000 leagues under the kitchen sink....

But it will survive a small drop.... Just be careful (and do not stick it in your bathing pants) :)

 

Colour comparison

The Aventurine is darker than the Brilliant Green which is more er... brilliant. The ifference is not that big though. I think it is a nice colour to rotate.

 

I havepublishe an extensive comparison of these two Pelikan inksin the Ink cmparison forum... Here is a link

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/291420-pimp-my-ink-comparison-pelikan-edelstein-aventurine-vs-pelikan-4001-brilliant-green/

 

 

Availability

This is one of those inks that is even avaiLable on the moon, simply hijack a passing space craft.... But since you and I most probably will not get to the moon that often at least I don't)...

I will give you some adresses here

La Couronne du Comte I guess Dennis and Rik would even travel to the moon to get it for you (just pay them a million or 2 :)) Well it is safe to say that they do almost everything to satisfy their customers http://www.lacouronneducomte

Bankers have Rothshield Ink lovers have The Goulet Pen Company. Rachel and Brian carry theALMOST largest assortiment of ink on earth and it's near surroundings :) http://www.gouletpens.com

(almost Dear Amberlea Davis carries the largest assoritment in the universe but is not a seller :D

To Conclude

Pelikan did a nice job on this ink.... Nice colour, beautiful bottle, well behaving and the price is not too expensive (in my opinion). Edelstein ink costs € 0,28 per ml. vs € 0,9 for a Pelikan 4001 ink.

Is the Pelikan Edelstein ink that much better than Pelikan 4001?

In my opinion not....

Wiil this keep me from buing other Edelstein inks..

... DEFINATELY NOT :excl: :)

Regards

Peter

Not bad. I was once attempted to get this one. But I still find it too blue for my taste.

 

 

Blue??? Wow that is interesting????

 

But must say for daily use I prefer inks Like De Atramentis Jane Austen or Stipula Verde Muschiato...

 

.... And of course The sailor greens your did such EXCELLENT :thumbup: reviews on....

 

Now only have Shigure, Brown and Black..... I believe I want all the Sailor inks.... :puddle: Love them :wub:

Sailor inks are great. The problem is there are too many!

Good review of my favourite ink collection Peter. You forgot to add: the ink doesn't pong, washes out of the pen easily with just water and doesn't leave residue behind, doesn't bleed across the nib (Noodler Turquoise - I'm looking at you!) and works well in all fountain pens.

Thanks! I have enjoyed the review.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Very nice review! I've been looking for a good green and this certainly has potential.

Thanks for the informative review!

This was the first ink and colour that I purchased.... I wanted something that was a good rich green but not too bright, and reading this review from someone in the know (i.e. someone who has been in the fp world way longer than the 6 days I've been addicted) gives me reassurance that the ink I've chosen is of decent quality.

If not to bright the Aventurine is the inkyou want... If you want darker Check teDe Atramentis jane austen... it is like moss or dark pine green

This would be my very favorite green ink, and almost perfectly behaved, except -- for me -- the dry time is a bit too long, and as a lefty, that's a problem. But it is a wonderful, bright, clear green and if I'm writing just for myself, sometimes smears be da*****, it's simply worth it. Lovely ink indeed, and great review.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
