This is one with inks from my wife's collection (slowly, but surely, she will be assimilated!).

No question about it, that ink is very pink. I bet Lady Penelope uses it.

 

Thanks for an interesting review...

 

I assume that 'Pink Quink' must be long discontinued?-interesting colour but not quite my taste.

 

I'm also intrigued by Lamy Purple-didn't know they made one.

Very interesting. I wasn't aware that Parker had issued any new colors for Quink. Thanks for the review. What are the other new Quink colors?

 

I'm a fan of Diamine Claret. Lamy purple looks interesting as well.

Regards,

This pink is not discontinued, it's new & in mini-cartridges only from what I can see, and I don't think it's available in the USA.

 

Best, Ann

 

P.S. to RayMan...The other new colors are purple and turquoise.

Thanks Ann. I'll keep an eye open for the new colors. Perhaps Office Depot or Staples will have them.

Yuck! Please excuse the spelling errors in the writing; it doesn't come naturally to me, and when I am tired (as I was last night) my spelling goes to pot.

 

@Rasendyll: Lamy Purple is a lovely colour that flows really well in my wife's Lamy Safari with MK nib. It is fairly easy to get hold of in cartridges in the UK and isn't available in bottles AFAIK.

Interesting-thanks for the information...Does anyone know which pens do the mini-cartridges fit? Are they for the new short duofold etc?

Lamy calls it Violet, at least in their website right now. According to somebody at The Writing Desk Lamy Violet looks just like Pelikan 4001 Violet. It is true that Lamy Violet is available only in proprietary Lamy cartridges, but that Pelikan 4001 Violet is also available in bottles.

Correct, Lamy Violet (cartridge-only) is virtually identical to Pelikan 4001 violet. We had several requests asking what ink had been used to sign some documents (it was Lamy violet in a Lamy Vista) that we did some comparisons.

Could you tell me what the MK nib is designed for, or what effect you get with it?

 

I was assuming it would be for music, but I read someone's assessment here (I can't remember who it was) that the MK is no different than a regular medium nib.

It's like a medium, but with a rounder, ball-shaped tip. It's designed particularly for beginners.

Beginner writers or people that are used to writing with a ball-point. It is less particular and more forgiving about angle and grip than some nibs.

Thank you for this post. Wow!, what wonderful handwriting.

 

I'm new to the forums and posted a question in another topic area about Parker Quink Cartridge colour equivalents in bottles (I prefer to use bottled inks).

 

Seeing this discussion, I wondered has anyone on this thread found a pink colour close to the Parker Quink one? Probably J Herbin or Diamine...

 

Many thanks,

      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
