I'm shocked! ha ha

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

I've no idea but Phil did say they were trying for a sort-of simultaneous 'launch', here and elsewhere. Whether it will coincide with the Flower Set as well, I really couldn't say.

Contacting the US dealers and stockists might be the best source if information.

What a shame that Diamine have not had the forethought to launch Salamander at the London WES.

 

My thoughts are that they would sell a tanker full of it; after all just look at the number of us pen and ink fans who attend every year. Sigh.

I still think it will do well enough.

Well, to chuck in my own two pence about this, if they release it in 1-2-3-N months or not -- but it still does seem to exist -- I'll buy it someday after all. In plain English, I think I might like it, but I'm in no hurry to check that out.

Fair enough - just not your sort of colour perhaps.

I just checked in with the US Diamine distributor yesterday; it still hasn't arrived but he's hoping sometime next week, then another few days/week to arrive to retailers. So... later this month?!

Got my 80ml bottle of Diamine Salamander today (am in Manila). Very nice, a dark olive-y color coming from a wet nib! It did feather in one of my poorer quality notebooks, but is really nice on Canson 90gsm sketchpad paper.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
