Sailor To Reissue Old Jentle Inks In March 2016

[BCGGSM]

2 bottles per colour or 2 bottles in aggregate?

Sailor lists them now as Four Seasons (16 colours) on their site. So I guess the old 8 are safe (for now)...

Seems like they are changing the article number on all of them. It feels like they are here to stay, all 16 of them.

It looks like they are. Andersonpens.com just announced they'd have the reissue colors available sometime this fall.

Aggregate

So, are they going to actually reissue Epinard or not? That was one I had always wanted to try. I want to compare it to the sample of Tokiwa-Matsu I got a while back. I got to try a sample of Grenade and hadn't quite made up my mind about the color -- although it was *perfectly* named, IMO. That's another one I'd like to see come back.

Early in this thread someone (I think it was Fabienne) said that Souten was "close" to Sky High. But just not quite the same. I totally agree. I've sort of been hoarding my one bottle of Sky High (and counted myself lucky that I was able to get it before it was discontinued).

As of yet, no.

 

Do you put all the BB codes manually or are you running a script for them?

I've had my Kin-mokusei in a pen for a few days now, and at the beginning, I wasn't seeing any of the sheen I'd bought it for. Maybe the ink needed to lose a little water to evaporation, or maybe there was something of the last color still in the feed despite flushing, but starting yesterday, the sheen has been pretty easy to spot, and I love the ink. If it's becoming readily-available in the US as part of the Four Seasons line, I'm picking up another bottle or three just to be safe. (Apparently, I'm a Fall person -- Yama-dori, Oku-yama, and Kin-mokusei are far and away my favorites. I feel like I should pick up Chu-shu.)

It's going to be challenging to figure which of the new colors are different enough from the old colors to motivate a purchase.
