So three new inks were added to Chesterfield's Antique line-- Antique Raven, Antique Mariner, and Antique Walnut.

What do you guys think? I'm not a blue-ink person, but that Mariner looks pretty appealing. Judging by the swabs provided online, how do you think Raven and Walnut compare to maybe some of the greys from the Iroshizuku inks or other ink brands?

I'm thinking Cacao du Bresil for the Walnut, but just from the swatch, don't have any myself.

The Raven I guess is for people who thought Slate was too dark? I'm not generally a grey ink guy but the Slate somehow avoids looking like just a watered down black. For $15, I'll probably just order the trio for completionist's sake, as I have all the others. Might get Teal as well to see how it differs from Mariner. Their web swatches aren't the best.

 

The $5 sale covers the Archival Vault 50mL. Don't really need another, having ESSRI and Salix, but tempting.

I ended up caving in and buying the Mariner-- will maybe post a comparison to Pelikan Edelstein Aquamarine once it arrives (the only sample of teal ink I have)

Just got in the latest shipment and here are the new colors by themselves:

And the full Chesterfield sheet with a few Diamine colors. The Diamine Teal, Monaco Red, and Orange look close enough to call identical to Teal, Siam, and Fire Opal.

These are 3100K WB in halogen light. I'll get a daylight photo soon.

Having just received my own bottle of Mariner I have to say it definitely was a lot more blue than I was expecting. Still a lovely color though, will have to do some comparisons when I get back to the rest of my samples collection.

I ordered the Teal half to see how it compared to Mariner and half to compare it to Diamine Teal. If anything, Mariner is a less-grey and a bit greener version of Sodalite. It's not very green, whereas Teal is a blue-green a lot more like the seawater around the North Carolina coast.

 

Here are the sunlight exposure results (7100K by the camera's measurement):

 

Focus on the new colors. Surprise here is Raven is darker than Slate, whereas the company swatches show the opposite:

and the full sheet:

I just got a bottle of Antique Mariner and so far it seems very similar to Tsuki-yo yo me, only a little less bright. I'm very happy with it.

Lighter, and the hue's in the ballpark, but a definite step towards green.

      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..

      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
