Just wondering if anyone has tried this ink and its suitable for our pens. Any input welcome.

Great input so far. Yes I assumed it was German. Happy to hear it’s safe because it’s relatively inexpensive and I want to order the bus bottle of pink and some other colors also.

I have a bottle of dark violet. It is excellent ink. The tall bottle will need to be decanted into a smaller bottle when the level falls below what a pen or syringe can reach. An old Montblanc or Sheaffer bottle, for example.

I’m curious why there hasn’t been more discussion of this ink. Are the colors bland and blah or is this ink good and a relatively undiscovered value in ink?

They are good inks and very good value.

 

Member visvamitra has reviewed most of them.

I think they less well-known (but definitely not unknown) simply because they are created for a small supplier.

 

Georg Seitz runs a stationery and fine goods store in the small town Bad Kreuznach, in the gorgeous wine growing Pfalz region of Germany.

 

Here is Bad Kreuznach.

and he also mixes some good quality inks within the firm. But, as you can guess, he is not a big firm like Pelikan or Lamy. This is craft brew ink he is selling.

 

I buy a lot of my supplies from him as he is not far away and has good prices on German and French stationery items.

 

I have tried 3 of his own banded inks so far and have been impressed by each of them. The last one I bought is Pacific Blue and its become one of my favourite blues - a bit like Waterman Bleu Serenite but brighter. I would also recommend the Navy Blue he mixes.

Thanks for the additional information AidenMark and the nice photograph. Went to the store website; wow, what a fabulous looking shop. My brother sometimes travels on business to Germany, usually in the Düsseldorf area. Is this shop anywhere near there?

 

Im definitely going to be ordering several of these inks from Amazon USA.

We ordered several through Amazon. They came from Germany anyway, but it didn’t take long. I love their Navy, Tomato, and Burgundy.

Hi Maurizio,

Bad K is about 2h30 from Düsseldorf by Autobahn. Not so close.

Frankfurt is closer - about an hour distant.

I got a sample of Seitz-Kreuznach Arctic Blue, but I didn't like it....the color was too pale. But I'm open to trying other S-K inks.

I have Palm Green in a 1946 Parker Victory and am quite happy with the results. My niece has been delighted with the Dark Orchid. The store also sells through eBay and the service was excellent.

Looking at the shop, he does Neon Yellow. I wonder if it is pigmented? He does say it is FP friendly.

I tried their Tomato Red. Nice ink. Bright red color. Well behaved.

 

Ink bottle is less than ideal. It can tip over very easily.

 

If I remember correctly, the ink is made in Germany but the bottle is made in Austria.

 

I have not tried any others save for the Tomato Red.

I've had their tomato red ink in my sights, but since I also have Rouge Hematite and Diamine Poppy Red it hasn't been as urgent.

Thanks AidenMark. Sounds too far but I’m definitely ordering some; thanks again for the information.

I have not tried the colours mentioned by the OP, but I have Chestnut Brown - very close to being a real brown without any significant red or green undertones and very well behaved. I also have the Slate Grey - I would call that a vintage black; not really black, not really grey and well behaved as well. Very nice inks indeed.

      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
