Ahhhh! One of Dr. Inkenstein's favorite color families, judging from the approximately one million turquoise inks in my possession, and this is timely, because in the summer I always have one turquoise-loaded pen, and it just got cleaned.
MI #19 was tested in a Parker Reflex and on Rhodia grid. I just happened to have a turquoise Pilot Varsity on the desk, and grabbed that for comparison's sake. They look vewy, vewy similar.
I also ran a paper towel chroma on both MI #19 and the Varsity. Even this is quite similar.
So far, no hard starts, no southpaw smearing, but mayyybeeee a touch of sheen? Judging by the amount on the Reflex's feed....

MI #19 started to run dry in its Parker Reflex and needed dipping to start. Dr. Inkenstein believes this to be a converter problem. After advancing the ink, it seemed to flow again. And as another bonus, we discovered that the Parker Reflex takes Lamy carts just fine.
Just when it was decided that this is a good ink, MI #19 was revealed as 'Special Edition ink' Lamy Pacific Blue. Which, it turns out, is the same ink as Lamy Turquoise. Which Dr. Inkenstein already has.
Win!
