Random purchase of the day. Saw it sitting on display and couldn't resist that turquoise.

My husband surprised me for Valentine's Day with a bottle of MB Unicef Blue, as well as a few other things including the MB 146 Unicef pen. Yeah, I am a very lucky woman! Anyway, the ink is WONDERFUL in the pen. It isn't super wet, but is nicely lubricated. My ink seems a bit darker than the written samples from lapis, which surprises me because the pen is a medium nib. It is a wet nib though. No water resistance, though. But that isn't a problem for what I intend to use the ink for.

 

This is a limited edition ink and I imagine the boutiques will be running out soon. I may just have to buy and extra bottle. Great stuff!

Congrats... I love that ink.

I love the ink as well. However, in wetter pens, Lamy turquoise / Pacific gets awfully close in color as well as some sheen. Price wise I like the Lamy more haha.

One of my Montblanc fountain pens, a fine nib, has been inked with UNICEF Blue exclusively since day one. It's just the perfect ink for that pen. However, I prefer the slightly darker Azure for ease of reading.

I am also using this ink exclusively in a UNICEF pen. it is nice because it has limited bleed through on cheap paper even with a wide nib, at least compared with most other ink I have used on my current notebook.

I LOVE THIS INK! Can I say it again? I LOVE THIS INK! I do love turquoise and blue-turquoise inks. I must have at least a dozen, but this is beyond turquoise. I think it and MB Swan Illusion Plume are my two favorite inks.

Fellow turquoise fan here and yes, this is a great one.

I like this color a lot too. I also find it very easy on the eyes to read, unlike some more saturated inks. Not too light or too dark.
