Hello once again. I was stoked to get my hands on this ink relatively quickly.
Daniel DeFoe wrote Robinson Crusoe (thank you dear Migo for pointing that
out, My mistake) many schools would of included this in
the reading collection. I certainly remember from the days of primary
school.
The Mont Blanc Pens of this edition are absolutely devine in design, presentation and
look. I have no doubt this would be a beautiful pen to lift you and inspire your creativity.
(if you choose to use this limited edition pen).
The other Mont Blanc Ink that I own is Irish Green, which is completely different to this ink.
It comes in a 35 ml bottle. It is a very beautiful bottle, and the packaging to match.
From testing the inks on each of the 6 papers, I found that this Palm Green looks the nicest
on white paper, as opposed to cream, grey, and turquoise writing paper.
At first looking at the Quill Metallic Paper, the ink didn't look that special, however as you can
see, when you shine a light on this ink (look at the far left hand side of the photo), the ink
looks very beautiful. I would have to say this metallic paper enhances most inks particularly
when there's more presence of light.
Make no mistake, this ink just dries nicer on white paper. I do like this, but... at the same time
this would not go into my top 3 favourite inks.
Perhaps top 6. It is a nice alternative green. When it dries, it looks olive green. Brown-kind of
green.
Worth a check out if your local ink store has a sample of this ink. This would be a nice
addition to the collection, it brings character that doesn't exist in other inks. As to the
right situation/application for it, well perhaps not quite for formal letters. A social, or romantic
kind of letter, this has a nice touch without the feel of out there, obvious, or strong.
