guess the ink!

Lamy Petrol!

Now you're cooking with...PETROL! I have one cartridge left and I don't know when I'll ever use it. Maybe in my BRG Studio with an architect nib...some day before it evaporates.

Well done with the scoop, mizgeorge. Over to you!

[mizgeorge]

Tis done. I'm just waiting for it to dry enough to put on the scanner...

I have to confess, I had a full bottle of Lamy Petrol, didn't think about it suddenly disappearing, and blithely used it for a lettering project (and finished the whole lot...). By the time I thought to replace it, poof! it was gone.

[mizgeorge]

So here's the next one. I got carried away and scanned before I'd done a water test, but I can confirm that it displays surprisingly decent results (not that it makes any difference to the guessing!)

Robert Oster tranquility?

[mizgeorge]

Robert Oster tranquility?

No. More restless than tranquil.

[Yazeh]

Fire & Ice?

[mizgeorge]

And no, it's actually more petrolly than F&I - and I was very surprised by the sheen (which I wasn't expecting).

Back in a few hours zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Yazeh]

Is it a 'common' ink or is some unusual rare ink?

[mizgeorge]

I wouldn't call it uncommon. But it is a new release (huge clue there!)

Montblanc Hommage à Napoléon Bonaparte?

Montblanc Hommage à Napoléon Bonaparte?

Better timeline. This is much less vivid a blue IMO (I'm still on the fence about getting yet another MB mid/royal blue).

Van Dieman's Devil's Kitchen or Van Dieman's Hanging Lake?

[Yazeh]

Colorverse Extreme Deep Field or NGC 1850?

[mizgeorge]

Van Dieman's Devil's Kitchen or Van Dieman's Hanging Lake?

That's deeply weird. Look what I just unpacked (having taken a month to get here from Aus)IMG_20210514_152609 (Custom).jpg

So no. They haven't even been out of their boxes yet...

[mizgeorge]

Colorverse Extreme Deep Field or NGC 1850?

Nope. I still haven't got any of the colorverse 'pretty' bottles.

Ah, now I know to look for next time

[Yazeh]

This one I'm sure it's not, but you never know:

Kobe 44 Sumaura Seaside Blue?

[Yazeh]

Taccia Hokusai-sabimidori?


Papier Plume All Saints Daybreak?

[mizgeorge]

Ah, now I know to look for next time

So I know what not to use next time...

This one I'm sure it's not, but you never know:

Kobe 44 Sumaura Seaside Blue?

Now you're just making me sad. I can't tell you how much I want this ink (along with pretty much all the rest of the Kobe series.

Taccia Hokusai-sabimidori?

And another one I can't get here...


Papier Plume All Saints Daybreak?

Nope


And if anyone mentions Birmingham inks (which I can't get here either), I may have a small hissy fit.

Ok then give us a hint of some sort..
