Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Blackhorse]

Ahh. Emerald...Emerald City...so, the official ink of both Seattle and Oz?

[Keyless Works]

Alright I may have to finally try one of these.

[visvamitra]

Meh. I hoped it was time for brown or green.

[strictlyobiter]

I wonder if it'll be available a bit sooner in Europe? Gorgeous ink in my favourite colour. A must buy for me.

[mmg122]

IMO, the best 1670 they've introduced. Looking forward to trying it out.

[haruka337]

Really liking the two-toned sheen on top of the emerald color.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

I'll finally give a J Herbin 1670 a go.

what a brilliant reason to buy a teal coloured Lamy Al-Star....

Well I am off to see the wizard and get a bottle of that ink on the way back.....

[lionheartlee]

Where can I pre buy this

[Feathers]

Meh. I hoped it was time for brown or green.

Oh, I would really love a brown one. Can you imagine with a golden sheen or even a coppery sheen??

I honestly thought this would be more green instead of green-blue, but I don't care, it's gorgeous. Perhaps they will release a truer green down the road, given the popularity of this 1670 series.

I'm so excited for this ink. The more I look at it, the more I fall in love with it. ​ This falls right dead smack into the 'need' category LOL

Preorder for existing customers at Gold Spot. Email to secured.

 

(or just open a new account...then email them to be put on the pre list & you'll be 'guaranteed' one bottle...they will email you when stock arrives and hold for your order for one week)

Ooooooooo! lovely colour.

 

But is the micro gold particles safe enough to use? I am considering use it in a demonstrator.

[lgsoltek]

I guess a true green with gold particles would look ugly? Just imagine Lierre sauvage with gold...

I say silver :3 would be better

[Azura]

I say silver :3 would be better

But if the undertone is blue, particularly on the dark side, I do prefer gold.

[musicman123]

Yea... I'm getting this one. Red sheen and gold sparkles? Definite purchase!

[Blackhorse]

I'd maybe add that a blue/green with copper would be pretty classic...a thematic homage to verdigris. Name could be..."Crusty Old Statue in the Park". lol

Wouldn't risk it in a demonstrator. The gold tends to settle in one spot when you set the pen down. It will mix up fine when you lift the pen and start using it, but you might find very small stubborn bits of gold left in places. I'm not speaking from experience though; I haven't used any of these inks in a demonstrator but in a converter this can happen depending on the type.

Bureau Direct say they may have supplies in 2 weeks. Will keep checking the site and let you know.

Thanks for your information.

 

If the gold particles are not fine enough, it may block the pen with no doubt. Then we just assume such things may not happened. If the gold particle is fine, however, such particles can left on the channels of the feeder. According to no-slip condition in fluid dynamics, such particles just cannot be flushed out through using. You may consider the dust on the fan blades or on your car. Thence, it will definitely damage your pens in the very end.

 

Conclusion, I believe these inks are not safe enough to use. Of course I am not speaking from experience either. Purely theoretical.

 

Anyone with experience?
