pretty bad site implementation shall I say, where's the regular ink range ???

If you're thinking of Perle Noire, Lie de Thé, etc. they don't belong under the Jacques Herbin brand, but its sister brand Herbin. In the same vein, Graf von Faber-Castell and Faber-Castell are related but separate brands.

Which is a rather new development though. When did they split? Last year?

Thanks OP for posting this link. I went with the Fir Green as it's the only one I think I would use regularly. I love dark green inks.

You're welcome!

 

 

I am looking forward to this ink and wonder how it'll be packaged. They say it'll have gold and silver glitter, so it fits neither into the 1670 line nor the 1798....

 

Their "split" is also quite confusing to the consumer it seems, not sure how good an idea that was...

Well, like I said earlier: my general response to the 1670 and 1798 inks have been hit or miss. I'd have to see the final product (and whether it will be gold or silver sheen) but overall I suspect I'd take a pass. Just happy it wasn't the other green....

Glad it was Fir Green -- depending on how it ends up, I might get a bottle.

As per initial statement, it'll have both gold and silver glitter.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
