Pelikan Edelstein Bottled Ink for Fountain Pens, Aquamarine, 50ml, 1 Each (300025)

I bought this ink for its beautiful color — it's suitable for work, but still distinctive. I've been impressed with its consistent performance in all of my pens: It flows nicely and creates lovely shading without being too wet. It dries pretty quickly too and does okay even on cheap copier paper (some bleeding, but not terrible). Like most blues and dye-based inks, it's not very water resistant. But that's about the only caveat i can think of. It's a great value considering the large size of the bottle, and i won't hesitate to buy it again.

These German sellers of Edelstein are lifesavers. Pelkikan Edelstein ink is spectacular, but insultingly overpriced in America. For $30, this ink is forgettable. For under $20, this stuff is a rocking deal. The bottles are awesome (not the most practical, but far from the worst, and they look amazing on any desk, with jewel like glass and a beautiful cap) And the ink is just stellar.Medium flowing, medium-high saturation, some red sheen (reviewing Topaz) decent manners on bad paper, well behaved on good paper, decent dry times, it's just a lovely color in a lovely bottle. Shipping was exceptionally fast for international (less than a week for every bottle I've ordered from a german seller) and I just can't find a reason to suggest you don't buy a bottle. Some of the colors can be a little underwhelming, but Topaz is definitely one of the more exciting colors. Not much water resistance though.If you can find a bottle of Smoky Quartz for this price, jump all over it. THAT stuff is something special.

Lovely ink. Writes well. The right amount of wet/dry. Currently using it in both a platinum curidas (f) & a pelican twist (m) & it writes well in both. Beautiful color & flows nicely. It has not clogged up my nibs.

I bought this ink after receiving a fountain pen as a gift from a friend and she had filled it with her own ink. I love the blue green color as well as the smooth way it writes with the pen. I asked her what she used and she sent me the information for this ink. I have ink from other companies and like the way this one feels.

This is a very nice blue, I am just not convinced it is worth the premium price or else it would have gotten all five stars. If you are into blue inks, you will like this one. It is really pretty much in the middle of the road as far as darkness is concerned. Smooth in my pens, no clogging etc. Drying time (medium nib, Rhodia paper) is rather long +25 seconds. On copier paper, drying time 1-2 seconds. On a medium nib, there is very little shading (if any). Flow has been very good for me. This is my standard ink on a 30+ year old Parker 25 that always had either some flow or some leak issues, and for the first time, the pen behaves well with this ink. If I don't use the pen for a week, it is a bit slow to start up, but I have found that if I use the pen every few days, startup is no issue.Very good ink, should be 30% cheaper to get 5 stars.

Beautiful color, excellent on regular paper. Large quantity of ink, and doesn't not clog up Exta fine fountain pen.Completely worth it.

Since the pictures on Amazon don't include any photos of the color itself, this is an absolutely gorgeous, stunning bright vibrant cerulean blue. It's bluer and darker than a cyan, but not quite as dark as a standard formal blue. I have a ridiculous number of blue inks that pretty much span the spectrum of shades, and I don't have anything even a little bit like this.I am a true connoisseur of inks, and especially blue inks since I have to use them for work. I thought I'd tried them all - everything from the most expensive of Japanese inks to the cheapest brand X standards. This beautiful blue excels in every category - I've used it extensively on both Rhodia and Moleskine paper, and it doesn't bleed or feather through either, even in my wettest pen. Dry time is excellent as well.OK enough with the boring stuff, let's get on to what you really buy an ink for: the sheer beauty of it! I am in love with inks that shade, and oh my goodness the shading on this is even better than my previous favorite Kensington Blue. Oh the shading. Even in a stiff, cheap converted Preppy, this ink gives amazing shading.Overall, I can't recommend this enough - worth every penny for a dazzling, unique blue ink of outstanding quality.

I am a new fan of Pelikan inks. I am happy to find that not only are their colors the best, they also have the best ink properties for extra fine lines and smooth flex-pen calligraphy. I have only been able to find the perfect shades of green and brown in their "Aventurine" and "Smoky Quartz" inks. Previously, I only used iroshizuku inks because of their reliable high flow. Well, now that I am deep into calligraphy and ebonite pen parts, high-flowing inks aren't exactly what I need, and the color range of iroshizuku inks is lacking.So...I'm changing camps.If I ever need high-flowing ink, I'll just add some "Vanness-white lightning" to a small batch of Pelikan ink...lol.

O produto atendeu a expectativa e chegou no prazo.

Essas tintas da linha Edelstein são minhas preferidas de longa data. A desvantagem é o preço o qual aumentou muito após os reajustes no valor do dólar. Mas, como um frasco de tinta dura bastante vale a pena o investimento. A tonalidade da cor chega próxima ao preto, porém se observar com cuidado é um azul bem escuro e misturado com o preto. As cores azul/preto da própria Pelikan não fazem jus a esta que é muito mais profunda e suave para a escrita.

Produto de primeira qualidade

Aunque la entrega tardó mucho, valió la pena esperar.

I really like the colour, exactly what I was looking for. Flows beautifully, nice volume of ink (50ml), and the cherry on the cake is the bottle is very nice looking. Really happy with purchase.
