guess the ink!

Graf von Faber-Castell Midnight Blue?

Graf von Faber-Castell Midnight Blue?

Also a good guess, but it is also not a Faber-Castell ink.


Hints:
The ink shows a purple tint (especially visible when wet e.g. on a palette and when mixing with water but also still noticeable in the drawing, not so much in the writing).
The ink is quite dark but the blue is still recognizable.
The ink shades quite good in my Osmia with a OF nib.
The ink plays well with water and is not waterproof.

Seitz-Kreuznach Navy blue? or J. Herbin Bleu nuit?

[Pterodactylus]

Seitz-Kreuznach Navy blue? or J. Herbin Bleu nuit?

Sorry, it is neither a Seitz Kreuznach nor a J. Herbin ink.

The ink flows quite well in my Osmia, I would say the ink is more on the wet side.
It has an average dry time (on Clairefontaine quite long).
It behave very well in good to average paper, but not really good on crappy FP unfriendly paper (a lot of feathering and bleed through on my test paper).

Aurora blue black?
Is it a blue black? The hand writing looks like that, the drawing looks more like Royal blue

Diamine Prussian Blue?

Might as well,
Sheaffer Skrip Blue

Hi,

Diamine was my next idea... Prussian Blue is too greenish, my guess is Midnight.

Yes, it is a blue black.

No, itˋs also washed not like a royal blue, when washed it shows as mentioned a purple undertone.

And no, it is not an Aurora Ink.

Diamine Prussian Blue?

It is also not Prussian Blue, Jens is right, Imo Prussian Blue is much more Grey.

[Pterodactylus]

Might as well,
Sheaffer Skrip Blue

It is also not a Sheaffer ink.

Jens

Midnight is a good color match (without the purple undertone when washed).

But no, the ink is also not a Diamine ink.


Hints:
We are searching for a blue black ink.
It has a purple undertone (clearly visible when washed, or in a chromatography).
When used in a pen it is a really nice very dark blue black.
It is from not from a big ink manufacturer.

Diamine Prussian Blue?

It is also not Prussian Blue, Jens is right, Imo Prussian Blue is much more Grey.

Just for comparison, this drawing I made with Prussian blue.

I have to admit, I'm not much into blue blacks.....
But I love how inks I would never consider come alive with your drawings....

Kaweco midnight blue?

Thanks a lot

Nope it is also not a Kaweco ink.

Additional hint:
The ink is not coming from a ink manufacturer directly (actually I do not know which ink manufacturer really produced the ink for this reseller)
