Jonathan Swift Seaweed Green - Montblanc

[visvamitra]

I believe that people who work in Montblanc headquarters are evil-minded. If ther were good, we could buy Jonathan Swift in every MB boutique. Unhappily we can't. We can win an auction and pay crazy amount of money for this ink but it's not good deal

Here it is. Intriguing, handsome, unobtainable.

I'm lucky that I'm not crazy for this colour so I won't have to hunt it down.

[Luma]

... and now I must resist hunting one down

I appreciate this review & would be glad to find a bottle if it were a "reasonable" price but I can muddle along without paying 5 times the initial price. I remember wanting this ink a few years ago but gave up when it as well as many others were all found to be "discontinued."

[Mariusz888]

Excellent review and colour of ink. If it be possible, I'll buy a bottle (of course in reasonable price)

I'm afraid it's virtually impossible to find this ink in reasonable price - unless, of course, you find 60-100 $ for a bottle good price I don't.

 

A tak w ogóle - strzała

[mehandiratta]

just bought 2 bottles from local brick and mortar shop for 18 usd

[Barkingpig]

You are certainly blessed to have such an exceptional "local" brick & mortar store. Enjoy!

This is one of only three greens that I like and, fortunately, I have two bottles. That last fill is gonna hurt but I'm not intending to be buried with it so I use it with abandon. A tip of the hat to Cyber6 for showing me the beauty of murky greens.

Ok, I'll bite... what are the other two?

I would like to buy a bottle of MB Daniel Defoe Palm Green. Is it the same situation? I had a little bit of hope that I will finally get to the MB boutique in Galeria Kazimierz (Kraków) and find a lonely bottle waiting for a loving user (that's me).

 

On the other hand, what price should I expect? I have read one review written by a happy owner of that ink, stating that he bought it for 19$. However, Amazon Canada sells it for over ninety Canadian Dollars, what makes it very pricey (255 PLN for 35 ml, I would prefer to buy a few Iroshizuku colours instead of paying such an insane price).

 

(talking about Poland - are the Rohrer & Klinger's "atramenty artystyczne" suitable for normal fountain pens?)

 

Dziękuję za pomoc!

I don't speak polish (yet), but I do know German and Englisch (2 Languages that happen to be printed on the bottles). Those bottles of Rohrer und Klinger are perfektly acceptable for Fountain pens. Solange it says: Schreibtinte it is acceptable. The Dokumentus Inks seem pretty nice too (have yet the Geld to afford them, but one day!) I personally use the Schreibtinte (Morinda, Alt-Gold-Grün, Leipziger Schwarz und Königsblau are my favourites.) They are, for me, cheaper and very nice (for my tastes).

@Old_inkyhand - well, I'm afraid Daniel Defoe is sold out as well :/ R7K inks are perfectly safe for fountain pens. I'm, not sure why this shop called them this way

[Old_Inkyhand]

I know French and English only, thanks for help! There is a short piece of information in Polish which says that it is suitable for whole range of tools used for writing, but it is not a regular ink store and I wanted to know if I was not mistaken. I have seen one pen damaged by an inappropriate ink and I am very very careful when it comes to some brands which I don't know yet (and there are at least three typed of Rohrer&Klinger's, based on what I know and what is sold in that store). Thank you so much.

 

EDIT: Dziękuję @visvamitra, kupię pewnie Alt Goldgrun w takim razie Lavender Purple raczej jest w butikach, prawda?

I bought this ink when it first came out, used it once, didn't like it and put it away. Rediscovered it a few months ago and put it in a wetter pen. Problem solved, now I love it.

[Abner C. Kemp]

This one came out just before I started picking up a bottle of each MB limited edition which is a pity because I really like this ink but I'm not paying $50+ for it either.

[DrDebG]

Really not too wild about the color. Just doesn't "do it" for me. But as always, Vis, your review was great!

LOL, I'm not a fan of murky greens, but I'm a fan of Vis' reviews and Cyber6's flowers.

[haruka337]

Just purchased a bottle of this for a decent price.

I'll send a sample your way, LuMA, when I receive the bottle.
