Recommended Posts

Graf von Faber-Castell was founded in 1761 and developed into the major manufacturer of wood-cased pencils. With time they started to offer much broader range of products. Few years ago company's introduced six inks. Last year they've added three new colors to the line. This year they've done the same. Three new GvFC colors hit the shelfs.

  1. Burned Orange
  2. Carbon Black
  3. Cobalt Blue
  4. Deep Sea Green
  5. Electric Pink
  6. Garnet Red
  7. Hazelnut Brown
  8. Midnight Blue
  9. Moss Green
  10. Royal Blue
  11. Stone Grey
  12. Turquoise
  13. Violet Blue

Electric Pink is quite cool.Not as cool as Rohrer & Klingner Solferino but it has some character. The ink behaves well, doesn't cause feathering (unless you use really bad paper)

The flow is agood, close to J. Herbin inks. The ink feels rather wet. In wet nibs it can offer nice shading.

Well, it does look like it "lives up to it's name!" It is nice to near you are happy with it's performance & I am sure this ink may users who choose it very happy. That is really all that matters, if users enjoy the ink they purchase.

It's pink. I have more than half of the GvFC inks. This will not increase the number.

Oh wow. That's beautiful!!!

 

I've been corrupted, I'm really loving brightly colored inks right now. It started with orange. Now maybe pink?

On the ink splash it looks really eye-searing, and I almost didn't scroll down to the writing samples which look much more subdued (and much prettier) - still pink though, so not really my type of colour :-)

Thanks for the nice review! It's better than I thought (cuz I'm not all that hot about pinks) but it's the magenta in there that whips it out!!

Thanks for the review.

This one is a maybe. It would interesting to see a side-by-side with De Atramentis Red Roses (which I already have), and also with the new Noodler's ink that I was just reading about, House Divided (which is supposed to be released at DCSS), after seeing the water resistance test.

Thank you for the review. I like the brighter color of the two top pictures, it is interesting. Maybe I can get a sample of it. Usually a pink like that doesn't do much for me, but this one has possibilities.

I like that it has some water resistance. Overall, I just like it. This one motivates me.

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

Vis, these inks do not appear to be for sale yet. You tease. ;)

Oh, I went looking at the UK stores but didn't see it either. Of course, I don't actually really need more ink.

      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
