Noir - St Dupont

Recommended Posts

St Dupont Paris is a brand name and manufacturer of lighters, collectible pens, handbags, perfumes (produced under license by Interparfums) and other gadgets using the trademark diamond-head pattern. The company has been producing luxury items since its founding in 1872. The founder of the brand, Simon Tissot-Dupont, was born in Savoy in 1847 - the company owes its initials to him. It seems at the moment they offer only two inks in bottle (black and blue) and two more in cartridges. SOme time ago their inky offer was wider and counted 5 inks:

  1. Bleu
  2. Bleu Nuit
  3. Noir
  4. Sienne
  5. Turquoise
  6. Violet

Michael R. sent me samples of few (dozens) inks, St Dupont among others.

Violet was stunning ink. I'm not sure if the one sold currently in the cartridges looks familiar. ANyway the ink has great flow, nice lubrication and is quite water resistant.

I didn't expect you have so many black inks Vis!

 

Nor did I ! :yikes:

Lovely.

 

Not wanting to derail the thread but that Texas Black Bat is by far the blackest black I've ever, ever used.

Yes, it's really black. Actually I have only two or three blacks at the moment but while doing ink reviews I always put inks in color gropups so that I can scan it and present on FPN.

 

It looks sheeny to me..

 

 

So what do you think about this black?... The comment on the post is for the Violet ink... :P

I had problems of skipping with my Diplomat Aero fine gold nib. I tried J Herbin cacao du Brésil, supposed to be a wet ink: skipping badly.

Now I tried ST Dupont black: problem solved :)

ST Dupont inks are amazing. I was able to find an old bottle of Bleu Nuit. Very good ink. But I still like my Violet a bit better.

      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
