Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite - Compact Review

[Jan2016]

Some time ago I posted some reviews but I was not content.

 

I try this new setup now and I am curious about your comments.

 

The scan is color corrected. Checking with my bare eyes it is also the same as the original. I have included a chromatogram, which will make comparison with other colors easier.

Sheen... difficult to catch. It is kind of reddish and you will not see it on absorbent papers.

 

Resolution of images is high, so click to zoom...

 

I want to thank Lgsoltek for showing me how to splash

It's nice review. Personally I prefer (but it's time-consuming for reviewer) to have few images showing zoom instead of scrolling through big file. It's just my preference though. The inki is well presented.

this is my fav blue black ink

Excellent review.

Knowing this ink well I feel I can trust your colours in any future reviews.

Thank you !

Thanks for the review. I have a bottle of this and like it a lot, but it's nice to see other viewpoints and other peoples' impressions of the inks they review, even when it's something I already have.

@ Visvamitra:

Your ink reviews are great! I love to read them and I consider them one of the best in the forum. I agree with you on the close-ups. But I keep the review compact, no use in trying to be a copy of you

 

Thanks for the nice comments.

I choose to write it with a real "gusher" because I think it shows the properties of the inks best. I added the dip pen for contrast. The white balance for the picture of sheen is something I am not content with, I keep working on that....

I've not been in a BB mood, so it sits there untried.

 

For an ink BB; that I don't particularly care for....wonder why I have 8-9 of them. When I do use one, it's mostly ESSR.

Hmmm, I dismissed it as a bit boring BB but that sheen looks intriguing...

I accidentally purchased this ink with the intention of getting aquamarine. So glad I did because I find it truly unique and like using it at work. It stands out as not a black ink, but not a bright blue ink either. My colleagues instantly recognize that it's my writing when they see it simply because of the subtle color. It's a sleeper ink that I've follen in love with. Currently inked in my Montblanc Alfred Hitchcock. It's perfect
