It's been a long time since I sat down and tested some inks.

I have done some reviews a few years ago of the MB inks that I had.

MB standard inks

MB scented inks

With the new inks that were released between then and now, I thought of testing the new ones and putting everything together in one place.

 

 

The older, recently discontinued, standard inks:

These were made in Germany, and came in the familiar shoe shaped bottles with 50 ml, or cartridges with 6 cartridges/pack. Inks in the bottles and cartridges are the same, except for the blue-black, which is an iron-gall in the bottled version.

Discontinued in 2010, some can still be found in shops.

The new current standard inks:

When I first heard of the new inks, I thought they were the same inks that were renamed and repackaged. However, these are made in Austria, as MB changed their ink supplier. They are different than the previous ones, and come in a new redesigned bottle, that employs the same basic design with 60 ml, and come in cartridges with 10 cartridges/pack. As with the previous standard inks, the inks in the bottles and cartridges are the same, except for the Midnight Blue, which is an iron-gall in the bottled version.

Released in 2010.

Special Releases

Since 2005, MB has released special inks in limited quantities. The first special releases were scented, and included an annual release near the end of the year around the Holidays time, from 2005 until 2009, of a Season's Greeting ink. Later special releases were not scented, and included inks released with LE pens.

Until late 2009, the inks were made in Germany, with the exception of the first scented ink "Love Letter Je t'aime ink" which was made in France, and since late 2009, these inks were made in Austria (same time as MB changed their ink supplier for standard inks). The last special ink made in Germany was the Gandhi Saffron ink, and the first one made in Austria was the Season's Greeting "White Forest" of 2009.

With the exception of the Gandhi Saffron ink, the special releases came in special 30 ml bottles, and most were available in cartridges (the inks released with pens came in bottles only).

There are 2 scented "Love Letter" inks, the first was made in France and was MB's first special release ink in 2005. The second was released in 2008 and was made in Germany. They came in 30 ml bottles and in cartridges with 6 cartridges/pack.

Non-scented special release inks

 

Inks released with pens

These inks were released with and named after LE pens. There are three of them so far. They only came in bottles, and didn't come in cartridges. The first one, the Gandhi Saffron released in 2009, came in the old 50 ml standard shoe shaped bottle, then the new redesigned 60 ml bottle, and was made in Germany. The other two, Collodi and Hitchcock, were both released in 2011 and were made in Austria. They came in 30 ml bottles. The Hitchcock ink was the latest special ink, and was not available in some places until early 2012.

"P.S. This ink being similar to the earlier released Ink of Love, which is also a dark red, is thought to be, by many, the same ink in a different package (actually, the bottles are the same, but the outer box is different. However, it is not. The two inks are different."

 

 

"Ink of" inks

This was a special line released in 2011, and was made in Austria. They came in 30 ml bottles and in cartridges with 10 cartridges/pack. It includes three inks: Ink of Love (dark red), Ink of Joy (orange) and Ink of Friendship (turquoise).

Now these are all the MB inks I have.

To recap and put them all together:

For Montblanc Meisterstuck Diamond Blue, please see here.

 

Now water resistance is always an issue with FP inks. So I usually test inks by running water for 5 minutes over a page written and left to dry for a day.

 

Older stabdard inks

High resolution

Turquoise and Emerald Green dissappear completely.

Black, Royal Blue and Ruby Red leave an illegible trace.

Blue-black cartridges and Bordeaux leave a faint legible line.

Bottled blue-black, violet, sepia and Racing Green leave a clear legible line.

 

New standard inks

High resolution

Mystery Black, Royal Blue and Toffee Brown have completely disappeared.

Burgundy Red leaves a very faint and difficult to read trace.

Both Midnight Blues, Oyster Grey Lavender Purple and Irish Green leave legible lines.

 

Special release inks

High resolution

The five Season's Greeting inks, and the Hitchcock leave a legible line.

The Love Letter inks, the "Inks of", the Collodi, the Gandhi and the Sakura completely disappear.

 

 

Sorry for the very long post and thank you for reading. I hope you find it helpful.

If I missed any ink, or there are any releases that I haven't included, please let me know.

Thank you Darius for doing that review. :bunny01: :bunny01:

 

I found it particularly helpful as I usually prefer to use Mb inks in my Mb pens.

Fantastic review Darius! Thanks for taking the time, this is certainly a tremendous effort on your part. I think I'm getting old because I can't figure out the difference between ink of love and Hitchcock.

 

cheers

Fantastic resource, great for being able to compare one persons scans of multiple inks!

 

thank you.

 

PS. The difference in water resistance between the Blue Black and Midnight Blue is rather more striking than I would have expected!

Thank you Darius for your reviews. It's a great and complete guide to Montblanc inks. It's really nice to see all of them at one place. Since you seem to have all the colours it would be great if you could make a swab page showing all inks on one page.

Regards,

Halid

It's a pleasure. You can find two links towards the end to two pages with all the inks sorted by colour.

Excellent ink comparaison. To me, it seems that the newer inks are more saturated. Done are the days of watered down ink from MB.

 

Except for Racing Green and Gandhi ink, i think the newer inks are much better.

      Hi there! Just joined. Are the forums no longer active?
    • Mercian 19 Apr 20:51
      @bhavini If I were you I would not buy a dip-pen. They don't replicate the flow characteristics of fountain pens, and they will work well with some inks that will clog fountain pens. Instead of a dip-pen, I would buy a relatively-inexpensive pen that is easy to clean. E.g. a Parker Frontier and a converter for it. Its nib/feed-unit can be unscrewed from the pen, so cleaning it is very very easy.
    • finzi 18 Apr 21:44
      @bhavini I ordered a Sailor Hocoro today, to use for testing. I’ll let you know what it’s like. You can get different nib sizes for it, so maybe more versatile than a glass dip pen.

    • Penguincollector 15 Apr 22:48
      @bhavini, I really like the Sailor Hocoro dip pen. It’s inexpensive, easy to clean, and if you get one with a nib that has a feed, you can get quite a few lines of writing before you have to dip again. I have a fude nib, which I use for swatching and line variation while writing.
    • TheQuillDeal 15 Apr 18:58

    • bhavini 15 Apr 18:28
      What's a relatively cheap tool for a newbie to use to try out new inks, without inking up a pen? I've a bunch of ink samples on their way but I just want to play around with them before I decide on which ones I want to buy more of for writing. I've never used anything except a fountain pen to write with ink before.
    • Penguincollector 15 Apr 17:03

      It's gonna end where 1929 left us: a world war, shambles, and 'growth by rebuilding'. That's the conservative view of cycling history --and the big plan. Even if our generations perish.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:49
      Of course trade wars are much, more important than the prices of consumer products. The true intention is to weaken the dollar, so that the Chinese start selling their US held debt. But the dollar being the defacto world reserve currency, it doesn't lose value that easily. So the idea is to target trade through artificially raising prices. Problem is, inflation will skyrocket. Good luck with that.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:33
      Guess who loses
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:30
      In Europe, the only (truly) American produced brand is Esterbrook AFAIK. Tariffs will make Esterbrook products compete on the same level as some high-end European brands (let's say Aurora), while clearly the product is manufactured to compete on a much lower price level.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:24
      So let's say you want to buy a Montblanc or whatever. You pay the current tariff on top of the usual price, unless your local distributor is willing to absorb (some) of the difference
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:20
      Tariffs are paid by the importer, not the exporter.
    • TheQuillDeal 10 Apr 2:44
      Can anyone explain how the tariff war will affect fountain pen prices??

      Cappuccino should work. Frothy milk also helps to lubricate the nib. But it has to be made by a barista.

    • FineFinerFinest 24 Oct 8:52
      No replies required to my complaints about the Pelikan. A friend came to the rescue with some very magnification equipment - with the images thrown to a latge high res screen. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks to Mercian for the reply. I had been using the same paper & ink for sometime when the "singing" started. I have a theory but no proof that nibs get damaged when capping the pen. 👍
    • Mercian 22 Oct 22:28
      @FineFinerFinest: sometimes nib-'singing' can be lessened - or even cured - by changing the ink that one is putting through the pen, or the paper that one is using. N.b. *sometimes*. Good luck

    • FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 5:23
      I'm not expecting any replies to my question about the singing Pelikan nib. It seems, from reading the background, that I am not alone. It's a nice pen. It's such a pity Pelikan can't make decent nibs. I have occasionally met users who tell me how wonderful their Pelikan nib is. I've spent enough money to know that not everyone has this experience. I've worked on nibs occasionally over forty years with great success. This one has me beaten. I won't be buying any more Pelikan pens. 👎
    • FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 4:27
      I've had a Pelikan M805 for a couple of years now and cannot get the nib to write without singing. I've worked on dozens of nibs with great success. Ny suggestion about what's going wrong? 😑

      Hello all - New here. My Art studies have spilled me into the ft pen world where I am happily submerged and floating! I'm looking to repair some cheap pens that are starving for ink yet filled, and eventually get new nibs; and development of repair skills (an even longer learning curve than my art studies - lol).

      Perhaps it's like saying Beetlejuice 3 times to get that person to appear, though with @Sailor Kenshin you only have to say it twice?

      I have no ties or relationship. Just a very happy customer. He is a very experienced Montblanc expert.
    • Seney724 26 Aug 21:42
      I strongly recommend Kirk Speer at https://www.penrealm.com/

      @Seney724. The pen was recently disassembled and cleaned, but the nib and feed were not properly inserted into the holder. I'm in Maryland.
    • Diablo 26 Aug 21:32
      @Seney724. The nib section needs to be adjusted properly.

      Back to FPN after 14 years. First thing I noticed is that I could not see a FS forum. What has changed? 🤔

      @T.D. Rabbit Try posting it in the "Chatter Forum". You have to be logged in to see it.

      Hello! Is there a thread anywhere 'round here where one can post self-composed poetry? If not, would it be alright if I made one? I searched on google, but to no avail...
    • OldFatDog 26 July 19:41
      I have several Parker Roller Ball & Fiber Tip refills in the original packaging. Where and how do I sell them? The couple that I've opened the ink still flowed when put to paper. Also if a pen would take the foller ball refill then it should take the fiber tip as well? Anyway it's been awhile and I'm want to take my message collection beyond the few pieces that I have... Meaning I don't have a Parker these refills will fit in 🙄

      Recently was lucky enough to buy a pristine example of the CF crocodile ball with the gold plating. Then of course I faced the same problem we all have over the years ,of trying to find e refill. Fortunately I discovered one here in the U.K. I wonder if there are other sources which exist in other countries, by the way they were not cheap pen

      Somewhat confusing and off-putting ones, as said to me by my very honest friends. I don't have an X account though :<

      I have a Conway Stewart Trafalgar set. It was previously owned by actor Russell Crowe and includes a letter from him. Can anyone help me with assessing its value?
