Diamine Racing Green

[SamCapote]

.....

Why would Diamine go exclusively to one dealer, when RG could be sold everywhere?

Sorry to hear about your London Pen Show experience. Today's Hamburg Pen Show was grwat!

 

About the Racing Green: Actually it was the other way around. Rolf from Missing Pen got in touch with Diamine to get this bespoken color; similar like the Exclsive Noodler's inks.

 

Cheers

Yeah, wanted to underscore that I thought this was a project that Rolf (& Michael R ???) had undertaken to try and find a suitable replacement from either Noodler's or Diamine? If you are going to ask for a custom color because you want it, well then you get to choose and decide, but have to put up the money for a minimum quantity. FPN did the same thing with the 3 Noodler's inks. The risk is you get stuck with unsold bottles if people don't like it.

 

I want to say again, this Diamine Racing Green is a spectacular color, very well behaved and easily rinses from all of my expensive piston fillers. It is absolutely worth getting and using--standing on its own merit, even if it is not a perfect match for MB RG. There is the same pursuit trying to replicate Parker Penman Sapphire where some inks have come close on the color shade, but not with the exact color and performance profile.

This link appears to be broken or 'discontinued'. Has Rolf stopped selling Racing Green?

Best is to ask Rolf himself, just send him an email, he is usually quick to reply and very helpful. He is single handedly (almost) to blame for the size of my ink collection. I want to make it clear, no affiliation, just a happy, and somewhat poorer, customer.

 

At Tilburg I saw the Racing Green, bought several bottles and I love to use it!

As Sam says, it is not an exact copy of MBRG, but can easily stand on its own merit. And yes, the easy cleaning is in my book a real bonus.

Thanks and I've sent him an e-mail. It's a colour I think I ought to try.
