Dark Orchid - Seitz-Kreuznach


visvamitra

Recommended Posts

Seitz-Kreuznach is a german based ebay seller. Some time ago he/they came up with their own line of inks. The inks have great value and are offered in cartridges and bottles (0,68 fl oz).

http://www.seitz-kreuznach.de/media/image/IMG-1998b.jpg

There are few colors in the line:

  1. Arctic Blue
  2. Chestnut
  3. Dark Orchid
  4. Flamingo Pink
  5. Navy
  6. Neon Yellow
  7. Pacific Blue
  8. Palm Green
  9. Panthers Black
  10. Tomato red

Dark Orchid isn't that dark. I don't like the color but the ink is quite decent (no feathering, no bleedthrough, reasonable drying time, good flow),

Thank you Cyber6 for sending me samples of these inks.

I have a bottle of this and love it. I currently have it in my Reform piston filler, and it performs very well. It's quite a cheerful color.

Interesting color. I'd be curious as to how it looks in a side-by-side with J Herbin Rose Tendresse (an ink I thought I'd like but there's a lavender undertone to the pink that I don't quite care for).

Thanks for the review.

Now this is a great review and a great color . . . For marking up a legal document, say. Thanks again for a great review.

 

BTW, who sells this stuff?

Do you think it looks like Murasaki-shikibu?

 

I have both inks, and it is really not even close to Murasaki-shikibu in color.

      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
