🤔 (sadly) there is nothing to sell there.

Thanks Lithium466 😉

Exactly, I am not selling anything, only giving samples.

Haven't used green ink since around 1964, but I could definitely go for a bottle of this lovely dark green!

Add lightness and simplicate.

Handsome mix you've concocted there. I'd love to hear more about the recipe/production process you used to put it together if you're inclined to give more detail about the secret sauce.

That's a nice green.  Reminds me of Pelikan Edelstein Olivine.

Do you have to be in France to get a sample?  I’m in the US, and would like to try a racing green ink.

Thanks for the comments.

 

You don't need to be in France of course, I do no reside in France either, but being in Europe would be better. I am not making any profit out of this hobby and shipping fees can be quite high when you start to distribute several samples here and there. So far I only gave a few samples to people near to me (in Belgium) and border countries (France, Germany) and the cost was already not insignificant.

I totally understand. I think it’s cool you did the work to make the ink.

I would love to try some of your inks, and can definitely participate to shipping :)

      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
