guess the ink!

[Yazeh]

I think I'll take a trip to Tashkent and stay there for a while

[grainweevil]

I just did a little Googling, and it appears that while you probably couldn't buy this particular colour, you could find this brand of ink in Tashkent. I dunno, the things you learn. To think I only ever mentioned Uzbekistan in the first place because I like saying it.

[Yazeh]

I'm staying in Tashkent resolutely....
But I'l throw an uncommitted last bottle, Koh I-Noor Green?

[Yazeh]

… The more I write, the more far fetched my theory sounds. Oh well, worth a try

Pelikan Edelstein Topaz?

Don't worry, we all seem to have strayed.... It feels like being chased by ink of Baskervilles from here to the Far East

[grainweevil]

Absolutely, positively, stop throwing bottles. Even if you're not in Tashkent.

Monteverde Turquoise ink for LAMY?

Monteverde Turquoise ink for LAMY?

Ooo, that's an interesting bit of deducing. Sadly, not the answer.

Safe to say it could have been Monteverde, although not for Lamy.

What two things do Sheaffer, Lamy, Pelikan, GvFC, Kaweco, Visconti, Monteverde, and some others I can't remember, plus several others you haven't tried yet, have in common? And what did Inkguesser say in post #9449?

Parker peacock blue cartridge?
What inkgusser said, was Parker, and I assume they all make cartridges but not Noodler's....is that correct?

[Yazeh]

Update, parker turquoise?

[grainweevil]

Huzzah!!!! We have a winnnnnnaaaaaaaaarrrrr!



What they have in common is they're all pen manufacturers and they sell their ink in cartridges. Parker Quink Turquoise, amongst others, being available in a limited way as mini cartridges. Something I'd have probably overlooked myself, except I have a modern Demi Duofold that will take nothing else. I suspect it's probably Waterman Inspired Blue, but no-one even guessed that!

Right, over to you, Yazeh. I've got to concentrate on torturing the 20 Question guessers instead.

[Yazeh]

It seems you're more relieved than I am

[grainweevil]

You're not wrong!

[FredRydr]

So Yazeh, is it Waterman black? (Just wanted to jump right in!)

[Yazeh]

I don't have any Waterman ink

[Yazeh]

Inguesser, if you're around I'd appreciate if you post the next challenge.... I'm in a bit of ink fatigue... I wonder why?

[inkguesser]

I'd be happy to! This ink just arrived Apologies for the bad lighting; I thought I'd color corrected it but it doesn't look the same in this post as it does in my photos for some reason. It's a bright ink, not muted.

Hi,

a red with a touch of magenta -so my first guess: Pilot Iroshizuku Bishamonten.
Color balance looks fine...

Best wishes
Jens

[azkid]

Iroshizuku Momji is my guess.

[inkguesser]

No, not a pilot ink.

Pelikan Edelstein Ruby?
