Ooooh - Lapis!

[amk]

Yes, I know the announcement of a new Edelstein ink belongs in the Ink forum...

 

But I suppose this will be a new M20X at some point? And I cannot wait! A shimmer M200! 

Image from Pelikan's announcement this morning.

I really, really hope a fully gold trimmed deep blue M200 with gold sparkles follows suit... 😍

An M800 in dark blue resin with yellow/brown specks would also be spectacular!

Ooooh, this looks promising! Would it be possible for you to link to the announcement? I can't seem to be able to find it.

So after every writing session I should clean my pen?  Uhhh.  No.  I'll stick to bitless inks.

That aside, looks too green to be Lapis.

Thank you! I'm not a fan of the added maintenance with shimmering inks but a Lapis Lazuli themed M200 special edition would be amazing.

Have to see it before buying, Ruby Star was a disappointment. At €160 it would have to be superb.

 

I doubt if I'll buy the ink..........Outside of Herbin Stromy Gray a dark gray glitter ink, that I can see the glitter in, I've had to hunt for any glitter in 4 Diamine Glitter inks.

.

Diamine Shimmering Seas, Tropical Glow, Brandy Dazel and Lilac Satin, were all disappointments for glitter. Those supposedly were shading inks...Shimmering Sea didn't shade....and was dark enough that some glod shimmer should have shown....with out tilting.

 

Tropical Glow was a nice lively shading ink....too bad I have to have the proper light and tilt the page.

Will have to see if Brandy Dazel and Lilac Satin are worth using .... as a non glitter ink. They had gone into the ink box and stayed there. So under preformed.

 

So I will read the ink tests, but will wonder, in the testers claim what I don't get. Those Diamine inks got raves...perhaps they used sidelight to get the glitter so bold.

I, too, fear inks that contain ‘glitter particles’.

 

I happily use iron-gall inks, and even ‘nano-particle’ pigment-based inks.
But the idea of having macro-scale lumps of solid material in the ink in my pens is where ‘discretion’ becomes ‘the better part of valour’ for me.
Even though I know that many of you other folk here in FPN-land are happy with your ‘glitter’ inks.

 

That said, I also reckon that an M200 made out of a dark blue ‘resin’ that contained gold flecks could be a very pretty bird

They did that with the Originals of Their Time lapis pen.  I doubt that it would appear in a 200.  About the same size pen but with LE features.

That's a pen I would dearly love to own but it's beyond my pen budget. And it would also be an enabler pen, because once I had it, I'd have to get the jade as well....

Any one bought the ink yet????

 

[ZeroDukE]

Whenever I see these types of beautiful inks I can only think of dip pens. Not in fountain pens.

Comes out in March so not available yet.

I was really hoping for a purple, but I can't be disappointed in that gorgeous color. Good job Pelikan. I already know I'm buying the matching pen.

Smart, I'm still waiting for a pen I ordered 10 weeks ago. I imagine anyone who ordered an M200 Copper Rose feels the same.
