Ink From India?

[jvmadhavan]

Please note Few Chelpark Permanent inks are dye based and it may eat up steel nibs, this happened to me.

Mix Chelpark Crimson violet and Bril (Another famous ink made in India)Royal Blue, you will get a nice color for everyday writing

I love the color of Chelpark Turquoise and really want a bottle, but the only source I know of stopped selling the small size.

Hey, is the Chelpark Permanent Blue Black an iron gall ink? I wonder if it's still available? I don't recall seeing one lately.

 

Also, I've had poor luck with two recent bottles of Chelpark Emerald Green, both had SITB. Both were purchased from different stores and were from different batches. Wonder what has been the experience of others with that ink?

Friend I got the ink frm a small statinery shop in chennai mylapore. He was having old stock. He infact told that I m the only customer to hav got it in many years. Seems like the production s stopped for chelpark Blue Black...

Did you try Kevin at FPR? If you like the ink that much it might be worth getting a 500ml bottle, as I'm thinking it may be going out of production.

I like the color but have never actually used ChelTurq. Someone wrote me a letter with it, and it seems a unique, dusty turquoise.

 

FPR was the first place I looked. I'll have to check again, or write a WTB/T ad.

Kevin T (Fountain Pen Revolution) lists Chelpark Turqouise among the inks he has available. It's among the inks he will sell in 500 ml (= 16.9 ounce) plastic bottles to reduce shipping costs..

Buddy where are you from? I can try getting Chelpark Blue Black, if you need & can bear the postage.

Its so easily available here. I can get for you. If you can bear the postage I will send the same to you

 

Or Let me know if you have any friends who will be visiting Chennai India, so that I can give to them without any charges.

No, the Chelpark B-B available today is not IG. It used to be IG in the past, with the fact being clearly mentioned on the carton under the ISI mark. In my view the new Chelpark B-B avatar is a very poor quality ink, with chunks of undissolved dye floating about when the ink is drawn in with a fine syringe, the needle gets blocked with these chunks. however YMMV. My bottle of emerald green is OK. however I have very less confidence in the new fangled PG stationery which is making inks under the Chelpark name nowadays.

I too seem to be losing confidence in Chelpark. With two of the recent green bottles, I had trouble. One I managed to decant to a clean container. I discarded the other. Among the Indian inks, I'm sticking to Kokuyo Camlin and Bril.

I agree with Hari Brother BB in Chelpark was withdrawn only due to the fact that it started giving much clogging issues. All the dealers to whom I inquired with told the same reason. But other inks from Chelpark are reasonably good, since I am using it everyday (royal Blue)

Thank you very much for offering to ship the ink. I'm in Bangalore but I visit Chennai at times. Before my next visit, I'll PM you and then you could perhaps guide me o the shop?
