Ooooh, purty!!! It does remind one of Pel Brilliant Brown, doesn't it? But that's part of the charm. :D

Thanks for the review!

A very nice looking ink but hard to come by.

Thanks for the tease :)

I got it from here: http://seitz-kreuznach.de/standartgraph::c569/

Worldwide shipping is a flat €5.90. If you're outside the EU, subtract 19% from the listed price and there's some good deals indeed to be had on ink. Nice company to deal with.

By the way, the ink has settled into the pen and is not like Pelikan brown at all, much more brown and less orange. Very coffee-like. I'll post a followup scan tomorrow.

ETA: I use Chrome to navigate the site, because it translates everything for you.

I walked into a stationery shop in Madrid today which had standardgraph ink! They didn't have the brown though... Probably a good thing... I'd have bought it!

I guess they're common in Europe. Over here, you're lucky if you can find Pelikan in the shops. I wonder if Standardgraph makes their own inks? Too many colours to be Pelikan. De Atramentis, maybe?
