Icon20 Mont Blanc Lavender Purple fountain pen ink on 6 writing papers

Hello all. I waited a very long time for this ink.

Was privilidged as one of the first few to own and test the new 'improved'
Lavender Purple fountain pen ink from Mont Ink.

I abolutely adore this ink.

It writes ever so nicely on all the papers I have tested on.

All writing is done on 1 nib only, my Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 90th LeGrand
Broad nib.

Mind you, if you can get your hands on Quill Metalic Writing Paper (If you
live in Australia, you can get this from OfficeWorks), this ink is absolutely
incredible.

This Lavender Purple without a double is on my top 3 favourites without a
doubt.

Whether you can use this ink in a corporate/formal environment/situation,
I would leave that to you. If you can only write in blue or black in such
environments, then the answer is no.

When wet this ink is a very dark vibrant grape purple, very dark that it
is getting close to black (from a distance), but when it dries, you can
definately see the dark-red in this purple. Much more beautiful than the
Lavender purple in the fineliner cartridges.

Perfect for more informal writing definately.

This is NOT a limited edition, but I would imagine this ink will sell very
quickly.

Well done Mont Blanc, this is an absolute beautiful ink. I never used the
old one so I cannot compare, but I am sure it was definately worth the
long wait.

Any questions about this ink, please feel free to ask me.

Sounds like I should pick up a bottle or two especially since they discontinue colors all the time and without warning!!!

Oh, FYI I did buy a bottle of that Limited Palm Green...probably should pick up another bottle or two.....looks great!!!

I agree Leo!

Once in about every five years there is an ink that very desirable, but disappears after a few months on the market.

I am going to buy a bottle and then figure out what I need to do to mix it on my own.
