New Pelikan M800 Blue & Cream Coming

[Driften]

What has been the long term impact of inks on the Pelikan white and in this case cream color sections? Are standards inks going to stain it?

I decided to go with a Blue Dunes instead and should have it in a week.

Nice pick, @Driften! Be sure to post pictures in the Blue Pen Club thread, I love blue Pelikans!

@Driften Well I have an M600 Pink and White and the cap cracked, and I can't for the life of me how to get the ink stains out of it (I think I had used Edelstein Tanzanite in the pen).

Should have sent the cracked cap back..even if out of warranty. They had problems with white caps before....unless that was the one.

I've had good luck so far with the 200 Pastel Blue. Must have deleted the picture by accident.

I don't have much experience with staining (or with white pens, though). If I were worried about staining, though, I would consider unscrewing the nib unit and (re)filling with a blunt-tip syringe when using anything other than washable blue.

That sure would be a workaround. On some demonstrators I done similar things to keep ink from going where I didn't want it.
