Yep - just heard Brian Goulet announce this.

 

O.K. I need to confess. I am a little concerned about putting glitter in my pens. I know this has probably been discussed ad nauseum, but I am still concerned about this. I've spent a "few" bucks on my pens, and really don't want to "muck" them up with ink with "stuff" in it. I guess I am probably paranoid. So, all of you wise pen counselors out there, is there a cure? Should I put in an order at Goulet Pens for ink samples for this one, and the other J. Herbin Anniversary inks?

If you are concern about your lovelies.. .buy yourself an inexpensive pen, with a good nib.. and enjoy the ink without any worries..

Good point. It may end up looking much more 'green' in person and on different papers too. To be honest, I truly don't care what colour it is, as long as it is shiny! ;) Hahhahaa, I want a brown one next, and a purple one too!

 

Can you mix red and blue to get purple? Please post the results.. :lol:

Rouge Hematite is an absolute pain to clean out, but it does come out. I have yet to have a terminal blockage. It just takes ages - and I do mean ages and involves soaking and all manner of nonsense. It's a great red though, even without the glitter. Stormy Grey on the other hand is great; few quick flushes and it's gone.

I don't put 1670 gold flake (or pigmented or iron gall) inks in expensive/vintage/delicate pens, but modern pens of low to moderate cost that are easy to disassemble are all fair game. I've never had an issue cleaning RH or SG out of a pen. Err on the side of caution with pen choice and maintenance and you should be fine.

 

Can't wait to get a bottle!

I love Rouge Hematite, but I only put it in pens that I can completely take apart. It's such a great color that it's always in something.

Thanks for your comments! If I do decide to purchase one of these inks I will also use it in one of my less expensive pens.

Thank you for your response! I do like the Stormy Grey, or the Bleu Ocean or perhaps this Emerald ink. Perhaps I will try a sample of the Stormy Gray first.

Thanks do much for your comments. Perhaps I will get a sample of these inks and try them in one of my Lamys.

The 1670 inks I have only go in my TWSBI pens. I left some Stormy Grey in a pen for too long and had to take it apart to get everything cleaned out. Wouldn't want to put it in a pen I couldn't take apart after seeing how many tiny, tiny flakes stayed in the feed even after flushing the pen till the water ran clear.

 

 

As for this new emerald version... it's certainly on my list of inks that I'm nearly willing to buy sight unseen.

I've taken the plunge and pre-ordered. I think I'll be taking advise, though, and trying it in something I'm happy to dismantle. I've got a couple of pens with nice nibs that I don't get around to using enough so perhaps I can lure myself towards them with funky ink.

Drat. I keep throwing money at my monitor, but nothing is happening. :angry:

 

(Maybe I should go get my name on a waiting list instead.)

It's hard for me to tell if the colour is more like Yama-dori or Ku-jaku. Regardless, I think I'll be picking up a bottle since I love the colour.

      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
