Montblanc Honoré De Balzac

[white_lotus]

This review is part of a series of "blues reviews". Someone sent me a sample of this ink a while back. At long last I've gotten to using this lovely ink, and writing up a review. The papers are Hammermill 28lb inkjet, Mohawk via Linen, and Tomoe River. Too bad I didn't know about his ink when it was available as it's a nice turquoise.

 

 

 

 

 

The ink appears to be a single dye. Somewhat similar to pthalo turquoise.

Thank you for the review. Review is nice but I'm not really into turquoises.

I like turquoises that are more blue than green.

 

Good review, thank you.

Thank you for the review!

 

In my opinion the Balzac is light blue rather than turquoise

Nice review. Thanks! Not really a favourite colour of mine although I do like all other ink qualities of it. What I do find really good about it is why they chose that name for that ink and/or that colour for that name....

I’d love to find a bottle of MB Balzac, does anyone know where it can be obtained? One can usually find these old limited edition inks if you look for long enough on EBay etc. but this one is certainly a rarity! Help!
