As an update to my post above, I called my local MB boutique and the nice lady I spoke with didn't know new inks were coming out, or that Midnight Blue was being discontinued/replaced. She suggested to call back in a few weeks.

good next time I go to my penshop I will ask one of each

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

This is what happened to me. All very nice but all shining at 25 watts.

I just dropped by the Dallas boutique and the manager had no information about these new inks and seemed concerned that there was a product coming out that he had no knowledge of. He said that he would check with marketing and get back to me. Will update if I hear anything!

They are probably doing a phased rollout. They seem to be available in a few boutiques here in the UK and at one online shop that I know but most have not got them yet.

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

Last Friday, I was informed that the inks had arrived at the San Francisco, California boutique. They needed to be entered into the sales system. Today, I was told that they were now available for sale. The boxes of cartridges are priced at 9 USD, the bottle of permanent blue is priced at 17 USD, and the bottle of permanent black is priced at 28 USD.

 

The permanent black looks nicer (in my opinion) than Montblanc's current black...it is too bad that the permanent black is more expensive.

The MB boutique in New Bond Street has the new permanent blue and permanent black inks in stock in their new, expensive, white boxes. I went there last week to try to pick up some Midnight Blue but they only had the version that does not say 'permanent for documents' on the box, so I declined.

 

i did buy a bottle of the permanent black, but not sure if I needed to as I now have aquired sufficient MBMB permanent to keep me writing for a few years to come.

*Update* The Dallas boutique called me last Wednesday to let me know that the inks where in. However, when I arrived they told me that they could not find the inks in the system yet and that they were calling around to all of the other stores to find the item number that they needed to use. After about 10 min. they informed me that they could not find the number but that they felt terrible for calling me and telling me the inks were in before they had checked the system so they were going to give me a onetime offer and sell me a bottle at the regular ink's price! This is the kind of service that keeps me loyal to MB! I was so excited and inked my EF 149 with the permanent blue as soon as I got home. It is now my new every day ink and I cannot imagine replacing it any time soon. I hope that you all get your bottles soon!

This is great news! Any ideas on issues with long term use in pens? Do these need to be managed like the Blue-Black inks, or are they a bit safer for long time use?

 

I've got a decent stock of blue-black not being used since it clogged a 149 of mine when I'd lapsed 'managing it'. Would be nice if these didn't need the same kind of care.

I imagine they would require regular cleaning, ie flushing of the feed. Edited by meiers

I took a visit to the Fountain Pen Hospital's brick and mortar store, spoke with the guys there, and they've heard of the upcoming inks, and the planning phasing out of Midnight Blue (what a shame) but advised me to wait till December since it'll be a while they'll be getting the inks in stock.

The little things really count.

I stopped into my local boutique yesterday and picked up some cartridges of each, just to try. Sadly, none of their pens were even inked with these colors yet...a bit unfortunate, really.

 

Since others here might just want to try them out without investing the money in a whole box, I will send a cartridge of each permanent color to the first three people, who PM me with an address in the continental United States.

I am not really satisfied with this ink. I have filled it a few times in my Heritage.

I have the feeling that is blocking the feed in some way.

The heritage used to be a smooth and semi wet writer, but after my third fill the pen is writing a lot dryer. Especially the first contact between nib and paper it won't start immediately.

Gave it several flushes with regular water and let it soak overnight.

The next day I still see inkresidu underneath the nib. So maybe it is too permanent??

I have filled it with royal blue now and it is working better, but still have the feeling that the flow isn't what it used to be.

 

If I have time I will visit the boutique to let them see my problem.

Anyone else experiences this problem?

My preferred supplier (no affiliation just a very happy customer):

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
