Is it bad that I prefer it this way for now?

 

No? If you're American and earn USD of course that's what you want when travelling. However, domestic inflation has gone nuts in America, so it's not all roses.

Thank you @Todor

 

If you're familiar with either Edelstein Sapphire or Herbin's Eclat de Saphir - how does the blue compare to these?

 

Thanks!

 

Have to admit I am not familiar with Edelstein ink. 
The Eclat de saphir is slightly darker and a bit more saturated than the 100y Origin. However, both are pure ultramarines without greenish or black tones.

I ended up ordering a bottle of the Coral for myself. I also sent one to a friend afflicted with some health issues to cheer them up. Got the delivery tracking number and discovered that Montblanc sent me both orders. I am a bit irritated.

Thank you for the post!  I’m also looking for more information on the green in the series.

What number do they give in the bottoms of the bottles, so people can see if these are reused or actually new colors. 

Is there a list of these numbers anywhere by chance?

I got the new Jane Austen Umber ink in the mail today, and am really liking it so far. Now that I read this I'm wondering if the same ink is out there somewhere but with a different label.

Did you compare it to the Leonardo Chalk?  (I thought you or @webgeckos were a fan of chalk?)

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      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
