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

 

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?

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

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... :blush:

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.

      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
