Levenger New Bottled Ink Colors

[mge01park]

While few and infrequent new colors and they discontinue colors at times, three new colors are on the web site.

I've found Levenger to always be good in saturation and quality. I ordered them today. Not affiliated, although, I miss their presence here in Florida.

 

Blazing Sunset

Greystroke

Pomegranate

I'll have to go look! I loved their last gray ink!

Please post a review or samples when you get them. I have 2 Levenger inks and really like them.

Yes, I'd really like to see them, too! I wonder how Pomegranate compares to J. Herbin Larmes des Cassis.

Sorry for the old thread resurrection. I wanted to add a comment on Blazing Sunset. I picked up a bottle of it, and I really like the color. It seems "drier" in the new Pilot FP, but that may just be the nib. However, as life tends to steal attention, I let it dry in the pen, and it left a bit of a crusty, clumpy mass behind. Luckily the nib and feed were easy to get out for a proper and thorough rinsing (thanks to Goulet's handy video on that subject).

 

Anyone else have any thoughts on this ink? It really is a great color, but I'd be wary of letting it dry out.

I bought Blazing Sunset but haven't used it yet. Maybe I should give it a try.

Orange/rust coloured inks are known for a tendency to form nib crud, especially in pens with caps that don't seal well. There are several that exhibit the same behaviour e.g. Diamine Ancient Copper & Pumpkin, amongst others.

It really is a pretty color. I'll probably just use it in short bursts, and clean afterwards.

I always liked the Levenger Cobalt blue ink, which is my alternative to my favorite blue: DC Supershow Blue from Private Reserve.

I just had a small heart attack thinking on NEW colours... or the re-issued of Pomegranate....

Levenger also has some cool pens. I miss being able to go to their store.
