Caran d'Ache

In 2012, when in Rome, when when I purchased my first bottle of Caran d'Ache ink. I wanted to give the ink a try as one of the members of the Vancouver Pen Club was a big fan of Caron d'Ache ink, and in particular, the colour Amazon.

I must admit, that is a very appealing green. But, the ink was at a high price point. With the high price came a small quantity of ink. The bottle that was extremely attractive, but only hold 30 ml of ink and I felt was too small to fill large pen and nibs that I use.

So flash forward to 2014, I was in Paris and as I walked by a Caran d'Ache boutique, on the counter was a display of the new ink bottles. The bottles were distinctive and they were larger, holding what is kind of the traditional quantity of 50 ml.

The hexagonal shaped bottles have a slant on the bottom, so the bottle sits on your desk at an angle already for a fill-up. The bottle also feels great in the hand. The cap is large and heavy, given the heavy glass bottle has a rich feeling. So it should, this is no cheap ink.

he company update its ink and the bottles.
