guess the ink!

[datainadequate]

Monteverde Brown?

[Scooby921]

Caran d'Ache Organic Brown

[Pterodactylus]

Sheaffer Skrip Brown?

[grainweevil]

Monteverde Brown?

Nope.

Caran d'Ache Organic Brown

And... nope.

Sheaffer Skrip Brown?

Um... nope.

Sailor: Japan
Diamine: UK
KWZ: Poland
J. Herbin: France
Private Reserve: USA
Waterman: France
Visconti: Italy

Given the similarity to Waterman Havana Brown, I was going to guess Pelikan 4001 Brillant Brown, but I see that no German manufacturers have been mentioned yet...

Pilot Iroshizuku Tsukushi?

Analysis for the win! Yes, that's the banana. Well played that inkophile.

I won? I actually won? Oh my goodness....

I'd like to thank my producer, the director, the wonderful cast of FPG, the lighting crew, and the clever people at Pilot (even though I've never tried their Iro inks).

And on to the next ink from my stable. Written on very absorbent letterhead stock, the colours have been captured by a non-calibrated scanner. Enjoy!

It certainly reminds me of Diamine Deep Magenta.

[Pterodactylus]

Montblanc Pink?

[VegHead]

Lamy Coral

[BayesianPrior]

It certainly reminds me of Diamine Deep Magenta.

I can see why you say that, but nope.

Montblanc Pink?

Not this one.

Lamy Coral

Oooh, good guess! But no.

This one is really retinal searing IRL.

Diamine Cerise

Four guesses, same as it took people to guess my Diamine Damson. Kind of impressive, given that Diamine have so many colours in their range. I guess that's the way it goes BayesianPrior

Still, we should celebrate the fine, swift victory by TSherbs.

And, of course, we wait expectantly for the next challenge

Diamine Cerise

Well played! My thought process followed an identical path; a real punch in the cones*, that one.

In a spirit of waste not want not, and saving small children from permanent visual trauma, I ended up making a 1:1 blend of it and Diamine Syrah to make "Syd Cerise", which my mother seemed to like.

*As in "rods and"

Dare I say, maybe we were assisted by BayesianPrior's very kind PIF giveaway of ink samples where he mentioned he had this ink

At the time, I had totally failed to connect the two things

Which may have contributed to my lack of success this round

Still, there is always the next round. Bring it on!

[TSherbs]

sorry, I am only back now

I am at work and can't put up something until I get through some schoolwork at home--so will be late (EST).

Diamine Cerise is one of the colors I have sampled, just by chance, so it was worth a guess.

[TSherbs]

Here you go. I don't know anything about adjusting scanners, etc, so this is the best that I can do. I hope that it is not to dark to make out.

[TSherbs]

On my laptop it looks pretty true to the actual writing sample.
