I'm shocked! ha ha

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

Any further word on when this ink will be arriving on American shores? I find it very appealing....

I've no idea but Phil did say they were trying for a sort-of simultaneous 'launch', here and elsewhere. Whether it will coincide with the Flower Set as well, I really couldn't say.

Contacting the US dealers and stockists might be the best source if information.

What a shame that Diamine have not had the forethought to launch Salamander at the London WES.

 

My thoughts are that they would sell a tanker full of it; after all just look at the number of us pen and ink fans who attend every year. Sigh.

I still think it will do well enough.

Well, to chuck in my own two pence about this, if they release it in 1-2-3-N months or not -- but it still does seem to exist -- I'll buy it someday after all. In plain English, I think I might like it, but I'm in no hurry to check that out.

Fair enough - just not your sort of colour perhaps.

I just checked in with the US Diamine distributor yesterday; it still hasn't arrived but he's hoping sometime next week, then another few days/week to arrive to retailers. So... later this month?!

Got my 80ml bottle of Diamine Salamander today (am in Manila). Very nice, a dark olive-y color coming from a wet nib! It did feather in one of my poorer quality notebooks, but is really nice on Canson 90gsm sketchpad paper.
