Edelstein Olivine 2018 Ink Of The Year


chromantic

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.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
