Yesterday we received our first delivery of the new

Pelikan Edelstein Ink of the Year 2018.

 

We could not resist and had to make a quick test.

The result really surprised us. It is not just another

exisiting shade of green. It has its own character.

 

On white paper it clearly shows a hue of blue. On

chamois colored paper it looks more green.

We really like this edition of the ink of the year.

That is a surprise. Not the shade of green I was expecting. Much more blue-toned than I was hoping.

From this and a couple other images I've seen I think it's lovely.

 

I'm biased towards green's with blue because of the added depth it can provide. I'm also a big fan of the Diamine Dark Forest.

 

I think I might have to try a sample of this.

 

I'm definitely curious to see and hear more about it.

Greens that lean toward blue: this looks like an ink for me. It’s a good complement to my Diamine Salamander, a green that nods towards chocolate and black, and quite my favourite ink at the moment.

Gone all Pelikan ...

Thank you for sharing these images with us. I have preordered a bottle & was surely not expecting this to be the color of the ink; you have saved me from a shock, I would have probably thought I had failed to clear my pen from a previous fill!

Hmmm. Not my first choice for a green color. But it does seem to have really nice shading and haloing (that crisp darker edge to pen strokes) so I'd have to see this one in person.

We have written these samples on Brunnen index cards in DIN A7 with a paper weight of 180 g/m².

This is our standard ink test paper, as it is bright white and shows the ink colors truthfully.

Very lovely color.

 

Im hopeful Pelikan will release a new limited pen to match this ink. Im a big fan of the aquamarine ink and pen and think this green would make a similarly nice combination.

Not what we were led to expect.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

IMO not much shading...two tones.

I agree. My alma mater's color is a shade of forest green so this appeals to me at a subliminal level

      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
