Seitz Kreuznach Tundra Green

Recommended Posts

Forget Montblanc Miles Davis. THIS is the real rinse water.

 

Official pics

From the bottle and the official swab you'd think it's a pretty murky green:

Splash

The only place where this ink looks decent enough is in the splash.

Sample

I mean, seriously, why would I prefer this ink to a rinse water? Mind you, I'm using a very wet pen.

I included a writing sample of a 2B pencil, with light pressure, which is still darker than this "ink".

However, this ink has a surprisingly good water resistance.

Comparison

Collaborator: Amberlea. In case you didn't notice this ink, it's at the bottom right corner.

Miscellaneous

Using a folded pen here. It's basically splashing ink on paper. Thank you very much I can finally see the colour.

. . . :blush: . . . I really rather like it in a MB Jonathan Swift kind of way :blush:

Thanks Lgsoltek for bringing this to my attention. I would not have considered it before but this may now become an order with Slate Grey

I've never used Jonathan Swift but i've seen some scans of it. I did indeed think about Jonathan Swift when I first wrote with this ink, but finally decided it's really too pale.

 

Anyone with Jonathan Swift would like to do some CRV?

Amber has sent me a CRV with Jonathan Swift on it. Would you like me to forward that sheet onto you?

That'd be nice! Or you can just compare it with your bottle of Tundra when you get it. :D

 

I need to check whether there's Jonathan Swift among the (numerous) sheets she sent me.

I warned you it was as weak as dirty ditchwater :-) :-)

 

I have J Swift as well as Tundra G, if you want to see both together. I can send you a CRV or small sample of Swift?

I'd love that. Thanks Migo! (Maybe just the CRV... I'm not too fond of the colour of Swift and I think it's probably better not waste the precious ink on someone like me who doesn't appreciate it...)

I'm not a fan of Swift either. It belongs to my partner.

 

I'll post a CRV off to you early next week - it'll be fun :-)

Be careful - I might pass my Tundra Green onto you, like I did the Slimymander ;-)

      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
