Nice review of one of my favorite turquoise inks. :thumbup: Very easy on the eyes.

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry

Nice color, I guess it's not water resistant, is it?

One boring blue, one boring black 1mm thickness at most....

Then there are Fountain Pens with gorgeous permanent inks..

Aaaand you've single-handedly revived my long-dormant love for turquoise (over engorged myself on ocean-colors in 2011.) I wonder if I have a sample of this somewhere.

Any one have the Lamy and this Pelikan?

If so is there a big difference?

I have the Lamy and 4-5 other turquoises.

Nice turquoise. Much easier on the eyes than Waterman, and the old MB was too light.

Just tested it :P couldn't wait haha. It is not waterproof at all. One drop for 5 seconds and there is nothing left but a faint turquoise line.

Thanks much, that reminded me a ceiling leak in my office 4-5 months ago, I prefer inks that lasted years after me regardless of what they worth, just scribblings or not, they are my marks on this earth.. Case is closed.

Nice turquoise :thumbup: , looks close to MB diamant

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Nice review and I love this color as well. However, the incredibly poor water resistance makes it a bottom shelf ink for me. One little drip of water can obliterate your work :( At least for me it did

I like this ink very much, too. I am currently using it in a vintage Lamy 25p with a medium nib (which actually comes closer to a broad nib) and it is a dream to write with. Smooth and constant flow, bright appearance on any white or ivory paper.
I have tried the cartridges (the 25p uses Pelikan & International cartridges) as well as the bottled ink with a Lamy Z24 converter, after trying several Pelikan/International converters to no avail. Both work fine, the cartridged ink looked just a tiny bit darker.

      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.
