A Few New Montblanc Inks Have Arrived And More To Come

[MightyEighth]

I have a bottle of Petrol on the way to me. I plan to pair it with my first 149 which is also on its way to me.

[Honeybadgers]

Orange and petrol look great. I didn't realize how dark corn poppy red was (might have to buy that)

[admmarcos]

"Old wine in new bottles" to me.

That's awesome. I was wishing for another blue in the MB regular ink line up and I think the Petrol Blue will be perfect, right in between the Royal Blue and Midnight Blue. [...]

 

Rather than joining the regular ink line up my understanding is that Petrol Blue is their limited 2019 COY (Colour of the Year) and will only be available for a year. It’s also sold in the square 50ml bottle, rather than the 60ml “shoe” bottle. I could be mistaken of course......

You are right.

I too was hoping it would be part of the regular line up in the 'shoe' bottle but it isn't.

It is possible, do any previously launched colours come to mind?

I am not fully MB trained.

Anyone have any info on when the Petrol Blue might be available in the U.S.?

I have it in my hands now. Ordered it directly from Montblanc in US when I couldn't find it on any reseller sites. Received it earlier this week and used for the first inking of this 149 I just got yesterday. I'm pleased with both.

Thanks for the red comparison! Very useful. Now I know for sure I need to get more of the Corn Poppy Red before it's too late.

Would you happen to have a 'B/OB' nib for a written sample?

No, sorry, I just have finer nibs.

No problem, hopefully someone will do a review soon. Glad you are enjoying it.

I haven’t seen an AD who has Petrol in yet, but it’s on the MB site

[Jebus]

The petrol bleu seems stunning. Will definitely land on my shelf one day...

[MrsHobie]

my Yu-Yake bottle is nearly running dry, I must have a look on that orange, I think

Nice color! Is there any water resistance?

Some yes. Smearing but the writing remains legible.

A pleasant surprise.

Cool, I am going to give this one a try!

 

 

Edit to add: I also see they have petrol blue in ballpoint refill
