What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase? 2018

[Tashi_Tsering]

Just yesterday. My new LeGrand with rose gold trim and medium nib.

 

Also I have vintage 146 (early 1970th), vitage nib better, than modern, more smooth. But modern also nice.

That looks very nice indeed!

Congratulations on your new rose gold 146 M.

I hope that it will become a cherished daily writer for you.

It's especially nice to see photos of it. Thank you for posting them.

What color ink will you use for writing?

Congratulations on your new rose gold 146 M.

Thank you!

 

 

What color ink will you use for writing?

In Russia "official" ink colors are blue and black (blue most popular). So, usualy I use blue inks. My favorite Montblanc Royal Blue. Also I use Montegrappa black-blue and Waterman Serenity Blue and other blue inks. I have other inks, like Montblanc Lavender Purple etc, but just for tests and fun.

Where I work and live the “official” ink colors are black and black (black most popular). So, I usually use any color except black!

Montblanc Royal Blue is my reliable ink for testing new pens. It never causes any problems in any size nibs.

The recently released Montblanc Homer Greek Blue ink is a pleasing alternative.

The rich blue color looks great on various grades of paper. I've enjoyed writing with it this weekend.

I'm so pleased that your rose gold 146 M nib is on your writing desk, ready for daily use.

Thanks again for the nice photos.

Same here. Although I do try to avoid both, black and blue.

 

Life is a bit short, not to add color to your thoughts...

1nkulus and Tom:

 

What do you mean the "official" ink colours are black (and blue)? How "official", I mean, how strict is it and in what sense?

 

Here, in schools and universities, only in the national examinations (e.g. baccalaureate, when finishing high school) it is mandatory to write in blue ink, but other than that, one can use whatever ink they want. Yes, there are professors who frown at a homework written in pink, but nothing "official".

 

I just supervised an admission exam at my university and it was written clearly in the rules: "Answers must be marked in fountain pen ink or ballpoint paste", so I guess only pencil was prohibited, nothing about colours.

I've fetched Homer LE, Homer SE, Spider black, coral, and 1906. Ludwig 4810 and JFK Burgundy too. And LPP Solitaire LeGrand and Solitaire Doue Classique. And maybe summer 2018 is over. Now I'll have to wait a few months till the other pens are out there.

And I have the upload button now, but when I click it I see no means to actually upload pictures. I'd really appreciate it if someone guides how to upload pictures accurately. lol

Nowadays MB decides for you as they pair LE inks and pens pretty often. Don't think about it, just buy it!
