Since two of the new ink colors are available in German Montblanc boutiques I have posted a review of the Oyster Grey here: Ink Reviews

[meiers]

I agree the new bottle is very nice.

Thank you Michael for sharing your ink review!

 

Can you tell us anything about the shades of green that MB is coming out with?

I cannot wait to put it in my 149 medium! As I mentioned in the review thread, I think this can be used at work, because it's conservative, yet it will be much more fun to use, because it's not a standard black or blue. Cheers

Many thanks for your nice comment.

 

All I know about a new green I know from the Irish Green discussion here at FPN... :hmm1:

 

The MB booklet which comes with the ink does not list a green ink:

Must look for this ink; I am always seeking the perfect gray.

Thank you for the early glimpse!

Just read the review on this ink and I think its one to get.

Burgundy red? :hmm1:

Bye bye Bordeaux, I guess?

I'm guessing they're the same, just like Midnight blue = current BB.

 

I'm guessing the only new ones are the Oyster & Toffee and possibly the lavender.

 

The lavender purple is a mystery. It should be the current violet since the violet is quite recent, but the current violet is nothing like lavender.

 

Too bad there isn't a green, but I'm guessing green is not a popular fp ink color outside our circles.

There's no green!

Really nice Signature for Good pen by the way! And the extra gold at the cap does give it a passing resemblance to the Voltaire.

Well, if it has to be a new green, specifically to be called Irish green, this is a test of color compared to other green Montblanc made by the forero Droopydog500, and even now it is possible to see the new ink Irish Green with the link that puts this in another thread Subforums titled new bottle of ink, especially on this link: http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=es&sl=en&tl=es&u=http://www.flickr.com/photos/droopydog/sets/72157622858816695/&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhg0mZ9uLj-uWm2HV7kyjRJR9TF_KA

It seems quite clear that there is this green in the new production line of ink Montblanc, we'll just wait a little to see in our stores always Montblanc. Greetings comrades.

Strange that the Irish Green being discussed is not on the list contained in the new ink bottle?

[Pfhorrest]

Looks better than MB black at any rate, I bet in a 'wet-writing' pen it would be closer to solid black with a little shading - like Pelikan 4001 or Waterman black.

[Blade Runner]

I just got this ink and really like it. It is interesting, understated, and elegant. It's not a standard work color, but it could pass for a light black, so I can use it at work. It looks best in a wetter writer to show off the grey and have it in a 149 medium. And the new bottle is gorgeous. Cheers.

I'm glad you like this ink. How do you rate the ink flow?

 

First I was a little sceptical about it; it really matters what pen I use this ink in.

Hi Michael,

 

I find the flow about average to slightly dry. Besides the choice of pen paper color is of course something to consider for this ink. Oyster grey doesn't shout for attention, and it's not for those who like vibrant colors, but I like it because it serves a calm, unusual, and understated role. Jeen

This answers my question about using this ink at work. Maybe I should try some.

 

Is the new Midnight Blue permanent too? I'll bet FPN member MidnightBlue will be stocking up on this color!

[shrinknib]

I like the colour, bit like a washed out black. Not sure about the oyster?????

I especially like the bottles and may start buying these up just to transfer my visconti ink into them!!
