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,

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
