Montblanc Is Revamping Their Standard Ink Line!

[1nkulus]

I have always been scared to use Noodler's in any pen...I know they make good inks and bad ones as well.

I think pen manufacturers are more consistent with their ink...not saying that they don't have problematic inks.

Also contamination...if you can't take a pen apart to do a through cleaning when you change ink brands.

I would love to try BayState Blue...with my luck I will have blue all over the house...wife will kill me.

 

I tend to use only waterproof inks. I won't use BSB in a MB but I have in a M200 and Lamy without issue.

Lexington grey is often used in MB pens.

 

My pens are cleaned every 2-3 weeks irrespective of the ink.

Agreed, but there is also a massive range between MB and cheap which is also hassle free.

FWIW, I frequently use Noodler's in MB LE pens.

 

I understand your point and agree with you except, for me, Noodler's inks are in the troublesome range. While I like the colors, the formulation does not work well with all of my pens. But most of all, I am overly sensitive to the odor of most Noodler's inks. Over the years, I have tried dozens of Noodler's inks. Recently, I tried another sample of Apache Sunset and Texas Bluebonnet (a Droomgooles special) and could not use them for longer than 5 minutes because of the odor. Instant migraine. Some Diamine, J. Herbin and Sailor inks are like that for me as well. And I can not use any "scented" inks for the same reason.

Just got a new bottle of MB Lavender Purple...sometime I add a little MB Midnight Blue to darken it up.

Definitely getting a MB Gandhi vibe from this packaging! Of course, I don't know what the actual ink will look like on paper, but the orange bottle and white label reminded of the infamous ink.

Who will be the guinea pig and buy the new inks to see if MB just renamed their existing line up? I call not it.

[Michael R.]

I will sooner or later ;-)

But it was not available in the Frankfurt boutique yet last Saturday.

I have seen Purple Rain used in the Patron of Arts (formerly known as Le Petit Prince)

[CAG_1787]

Two sides of me emerge on this:

 

Cynical: a meaningless revamp that will likely precede more price increases

 

Hopeful: a meaningful shift to expand a reliable lineup. Maybe even a permanent blue-black? Pretty please?

[MightyEighth]

I'm not sure about the fate of Corn Poppy Red, but I just got two bottles just in case.

[NeverTapOut]

Does anyone know if Royal Blue is staying in the line up.

 

My second color is Midnight Blue?

 

I use both for drawing up contracts and they are my primary inks I use daily depending upon mood.

[Michael R.]

Pop Pink & Petrol Blue are added as well :-)
