Thanks for the nice review. Looks like I'll have to get this one.... Reminds me of Noodler's Elysium and Blue and D's Denim (although IMO less chalky than the latter).

The scan shows a little lighter (and then there's the problem with various monitors and calibration). It's much darker than Liberty's Elysium. Somewhere between Herbin Bleu Ocean and Serenity/Florida blue.

Nice review, nice color.

Where you bought this ink? Thank You

Nice review, nice color.

Where you bought this ink? Thank You

 

A shop in Wiesbaden, Germany. They had it made by De Atramentis.

The store's site is here. De Atramentis doesn't show it in its own site (English or German), so it's likely available only from that store, just like MrPen's Radiant Blue (made by Diamine) is only available from MrPen.

Well, did we find out if it has a different name? Or must I find in Germany?

No response De Atramentis yet.

Sooo.... Hang onta yer hats!!!!

 

{A} I just phoned them (the store in Wiesbaden, "Der Papierladen Wiesbaden") 5 min ago but they must be OTL although they say they're there till 7 pm today.

{B} Thusly, I phoned our Excellent De Atramentis Manufacturer and Dealer Dr. Jansen and he said that we can all buy that ink from him Himself... but....

{C} .... he also told me that his inks can always be bought directly from Goulets. Sooo...............go figure.

{D} He said that that ink may very well be identical with another blue of his (like Charles Dickens = Cement Grey and Berlin Brandenburger Tor = Aubergine) but he wasn't sure and didn't have any other name on hand so suddenly, but, if "Yes", then he'll email me tomorrow.

 

"Sooo... Mr. Mike.... It's now time for your needle....................."

Here's a comparison of some common blues (that I have inked up right now...). Don't ask me why I dropped "Eclat" off the name of the Herbin sample...

I got a response to my email, and I think Doktor Jansen confused my email with lapis' phone call.

Sehr geehrter Herr Neal,

vielen Dank für das freundliche Telefongespräch.

Die Farbe der Wiesbadener Quellentinte ist Dunkelblau.

Als Anlage das Etikett.

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Franz-Josef Jansen

 

Dear Mr. Neal,

thank you for the friendly phone call.

The color of the Wiesbaden source ink is dark blue.

As a plant label.

 

Sincerely yours

Franz-Josef Jansen

 

Here's a sample label he attached. Note that my two bottles don't state that the ink is dunkelblau.
