I appreciate your ink review. The tudor blue interests me. However, it doesn't seem to be one of the 150th Anniversary colors. Please clarify this for me.

It's a brand new ink that will be added to the 150th Anniversary range shortly. :)

Thanks, Chrissy. It's good to know that we can get an early review on inks before they hit the shelves.

You're welcome. :) I don't know when these will hit the shelves, but my best guess is June :)

I just popped into this review thread to say that these inks have now been issued and are readily available from Diamine and other retailers. :)
