[Pterodactylus]

Birmingham cold steel.

Not a Birmingham ink as well.

[Pterodactylus]

Let me summarize:

• Quite new ink
• Quite new ink maker
• Multi-chromatic ink
• Almost no water resistance
• No review of the ink available on FPG
• Well behaving ink (even some reviewer claimed something different)
• Not a US ink
• Not a Australien ink
• Already many manufacturers excluded (see above)

Ferris Wheel Press Jelly Bean Blue?
The only Canadian ink maker I know, eh?

[Yazeh]

Troublemaker Abalone?

[Pterodactylus]

Troublemaker Abalone?

Yes...... finally we have a winner !

Yes it is Troublemaker Abalone !


Congrats Yazeh

Itˋs your turn

[Yazeh]

Thanks, Ptero. That was fun
Anyone else want to jump in, be my guest

[adhoc]

Oh boy, I have never even heard of this brand, I would have never guessed it, hah! Quite unexpected, I had it in my mind you're not such an adventurous type when it comes to ink.

[Pterodactylus]

The Troublemaker inks are hard to get in Europe, I’m glad I got this ink, and I like it.
The multi color effect could be stronger, you have to look really close to notice it.
But as soon as it gets in contact with water the different colors show up dramatically.

Also when you wipe off the nib after filling with kitchen paper the ink in the the paper spreads incredible colorful.

Actually I’m not conservative regarding new inks, I have already ink for several lifetimes but still can’t resist to get new ones if I see something interesting.
And of course I get also inks which I do not like at the end, but Abalone is not one of those so far.

[Yazeh]

adhoc would you like to give it a shot?

[adhoc]

Sure, why not. We don't really have nicely animated cartoons in Slovene, so we're listening to A LOT of English ones lately. Listening to English kid songs for an hour a day make me sing them to myself quietly day in - day out. I'm going mad, slowly but surely. Anyway, guess this ink! The drawing represents the pinacle of my drawing abilities. If you don't like it, ask Ptero to draw you a nicer one.

[Pterodactylus]

I like your drawing, perfectly fine. 👍

What about Sheaffer Skrip Red?

[adhoc]

Nope, not a Sheaffer ink.

[Yazeh]

Love you handwriting and drawing...
Funny, I was under the impression, that Eastern Europe was the centre of animation.
I saw many Bolek and Lolek as a kid

Lets get the obvious out of the list, Koh - I- noor r red...

[adhoc]

I have never even heard of this brand before. No, sorry, it is not.

Eastern Europe? We were a German city until 1918...ONE mistake and you're forever known as Eastern Europe!

(although I did like Bolek and Lolek as a kid a lot as well)

My apologies. Central Europe.

Diamine Matador?

[adhoc]

Nope, not a Diamine ink either.

I'll give a hint: it's still from a batch when these inks smelled really nice.

[Yazeh]

De Atramentis Cherry?

[Yazeh]

J Herbin Rouge, pafrum rose?

[Pterodactylus]

Not German.... I think you meant Austrian City until 1918.


Smell nice is relative, and individual from person to person....

So maybe it is an old Parker Quink Red when they still had Phenol in it. (I would not call it nice but anyway)

[adhoc]

Nope and nope! It smells like vanilla
