It's a great ink.

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

I don't know if it's technically considered a turquoise, but I recently got a bottle of Rohrer & Klingner Blu Mare (also known as Sea Bluish) and to my eyes it is a gorgeous turquoise-ish blue.

Yep, another great looking ink.

I recently fell in love with Pelikan Edelstein Topaz.

Agree. It's my favourite ink - a little darker and more "luminous" than standard turquoise (which I find too light).

Hi,

 

In addition to the excellent suggestions above kindly consider:

 

> Pilot sei-boku diluted with [distilled] water to whatever concentration gives the balance between looking nice in your pen and being dark enough to be highly readable on the page. While most inks tolerate dilution to about 80% concentration, I found Ps-b runs very well down to 10% concentration (1 part ink stirred into 9 parts water.)*

 

> An iron-gall ink. Due to oxidisation and interaction with the paper, those inks have the potential to darken over time. Hence they can appear rather pale in a pen, but will be darker on the page.

 

Bye,

S1

How about KWZI iron gall turquoise?

I have it in my 580 right now.

I loved this ink (price, availability and how it looked in my TWSBI 580) until I put pen to paper - too light for everyday use. I ended up mixing 3-4 parts Pelikan Turquoise and 1 part Pelikan Blue-black. The result is fantastic.

 

The ink looks great in my 580, stunning deep turquoise colour.

On paper this ink is gorgeous, great shading from deep blue, through teal, to bright turquoise.

 

Its my daily ink and matches my Parker 51 Teal perfectly.

 

EDIT - I'll put up a photo or scan of this ink as soon as I get a chance ~ 2-3 days.

 

 

I couldn't edit my original post so here's the scans I promised (2 weeks ago!)

      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
