Edelstein Olivine 2018 Ink Of The Year

Recommended Posts

Was just at Pelikan's site where they're trumpeting this year's Ink of the Year, Olivine. I believe the new color has been known for a while but this makes it official.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I saw something on their instagram feed about a month ago. Looking at it again just now it was January 12th. They said it would be available in March in the comments. Someone asked specifically about a matching M200 and was basically shut down. So no confirmation of that. Around that time, Sarge Talon on thepelikansperch.com had something about it.

The ink looks quite interesting. I find I really like yellow leaning greens (as opposed to the blue leaning ones).

Would have to try a sample of it before being a full bottle of course, to find out how close it is to greens I already have.

While I'm generally not big on golden greens, I have to say that the splash under the bottle does look nice, more dark green than overtly golden. But do I really need another dark green? I'll wait on the reviews to get a better look and maybe order cartridges.

I will be in the queue outside the ink shop. Possibly the day before. With sleeping bag.

 

I like green. I like grey green even better.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

I have every LE Edelstein since Garnet so will be getting at least one bottle of this one too. I wish I had the ones bef Garnet but didn't know abt them at the time. I am using Sapphire right now in my Pelikan Toledo 910. I received 2 new Pelikan pens in the mail yesterday so I need the new color.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
