Recently we heard rumors that Sailor Jentle ink is being discontinued and decided to find out if the rumors are indeed true. After a little digging, we just got confirmation from our US Sailor distributor that the Sailor Jentle ink is being discontinued. Sailor will continue to the Sailor ink in the pigmented colors as well as the Sailor Jentle ink in the blues and blacks.
You may ask why? We asked the same question because these inks have been a very popular seller for Pen Chalet. The answer we received was: “The reason Sailor is discontinuing the Jentle Ink colors is because the worldwide demand has been dwindling and Sailor couldn’t justify the high minimum production.”

You guys are the best! I ordered Epinard and Ultramarine from Pen Chalet Saturday June 7 around 2pm, — not only are you one of the only merchants in the US that still had them in stock, but you sold it at a discount, with free 2 day shipping, and got the order out same day on a Saturday! The order arrived today (Monday the 9th).
Thank you so much!
I like the new colors, though I will miss the old. Will the price change?
We have not received pricing yet so I can’t answer that for sure.
