Seitz-Kreuznach Pacific Blue


Cyber6

Recommended Posts

There is a NEW Ink Player out there. Seitz-Kreuznach is offering good value for their ink. In summary:

 

  • Most of them are medium-wet
  • Decent water resistance
  • Colors are vibrant.. except Flamingo Pink
  • Warning: with a broad wet pen, you WILL get show through and some bleed through

As you can tell.. it dries MUCH lighter than what it looks like originally. When wet it looked like a nice RICH dark Royal Blue... I am no fan of medium blues.. and I did like it. Until dry. Then is not much more different than a bunch of blues out there.

Hmmm this color reminds me a lot of the Williamsburg! Not too shabby but could be a bit darker. A tad bit of black may help it

 

BTW, did you get all these as bottles or samples? If you got samples, where can I pick some up?

I was rather hoping that at least one of their blues would be a deep, solid blue. Alas...

The Navy Blue is really sweet.... dark and mysterious.... Is more a blue-black than a Navy Blue.. but it has some serious water resistance... :wub:

Thanks for saving us.

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

Interesting colour, to me it sort of looks like Iroshizuku Ajisai? Thank you for all your great reviews.

The colour shift reminds me of China Blue. The dried shade does kind of resemble Ajisai without the red tint.

 

Me like!

I just recently discovered this ink (Pacific Blue) and I'm impressed with it. It is almost indistinguishable from Diamine Sapphire in the F and M nibs I've used but they perform differently enough that I am not convinced they are the same ink.

 

Cost per ounce and the smooth wet flow have made me a fan. Too bad there is such a limited color selection but I will try the Navy Blue version.

 

The excellent communication from the seller along with the quality and price of the ink makes it attractive and I hope they expand the range of offerings.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
