Waldmann Bottled Ink

December 28, 2012

Hello,

Recently I was given a used Waldmann bottled ink. On testing it with a dip pen, I found out that it writes a very nice darkish green. However, it seems that the brand Waldmann is not really popular and I could not find any topic or comment on the forums about Waldmann inks (maybe I didn't search too deep!).

Anyone has any experience with the Waldmann ink? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. When it comes to ink, I'm quite conservative and tend to stick with Pelikan, Waterman (mostly) and now Mont Blanc.

In the meantime, I wish you all the best for the New Year and nibs inked with amazing ink!

regards,

Christopher

Waldmann seem to be boutique pen manufacturers, from their website. I wonder if they simply rebrand someone else's ink or get that ink made up in their own labels? It might be like Onoto in the UK who have asked Diamine UK to relabel a selection of their colours.

Show us a natural light, in-focus pic of the bottle and maybe someone will recognise it.

Found it - see the PDF catalogue on one of their Euro dealer's sites... http://www.waldmannpen.com/downloads/katalog2012_en.pdf

Have a look at the bottles shown on the bottom of page 29 of 32. Do they look like what you received? If so, they seem to match the shape of bottle that Conway Stewart ink was shipped in but the cap and label are different. I don't think they are Pelikan bottles.

Hi Daniel Coffey,

Yes, it is the one shown in the catalogue. Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Actually the ink is black, but seems dark green when it is still wet. I'm attaching a photo of the bottle and a scan showing the Waldmann ink with Parker Quink as comparison.
