    To elaborate slightly on the 'clue' in the sample pic - why might the ink be over saturated from evaporation?

    Did you microwave it?

    Because you left the cap off and some of it's water evaporated?

    I've experimented on doing that with quite a few inks that I wanted to try to make darker/more saturated.

    I'm intrigued, have you ever microwaved ink?

    It may be as much as 50% evaporated... probably not as good a clue as i thought, i guess you need to know the customer service which can come with the ink

    Not that one neither...

    But apparently the ink is named after one of the rose family

    I don't understand your first few clues apart from the fact that it's made 820 miles away from France.

    On the basis that Poland is 850 miles away from France, my guess is KWZ Raspberry

    Interesting geographic angle. I wonder if Slovenia (where adhoc informs us many inks are made) is 30 miles closer to France?

    It probably is. I was only guessing.

    Whoomp, there it is!

    According to a route calculator Herbin's Etival-Clairefontaine is approx 820 miles from KWZ's Nowe Grocholice.

    The original clue was reference to the fact that this ink was one of a bag of samples ordered along with bottles of ink, the little bullet containers the samples are contained in may not be quite airtight, then i again i suspect i may have just already used some .

    Sorry I'm late posting this, but here is the next ink for you to guess. I bet it's been guessed on here before, as I'm running out of ideas.
