guess the ink!

[mizgeorge]

Montblanc Lavender Purple?
FRITZ SCHIMPF GELASSENHEIT?

Nein to both of these too!

[mizgeorge]

I’ll guess the only other two inks I have that are in the ballpark of that colour range, and I’m definitely not convinced it’s either:

Robersons Penman Transparent Lilac Agate (the Violet Agate is too dark), or

KWZ V-Dream (but I think this is too blue)

Apart from those I’m out of inks & guesses 🤓

No, it's a fountain pen ink
and you're right - it's too blue!

[mizgeorge]

Lindauer Purple?
Online Lilac?

No, and no,

BUT within today's guesses, you do now have the ink name (just not the manufacturer and not the colour)
AND you have the bottle shape/size

It's a pretty new ink.

Both my guesses were fountain pen inks. The Robersons is safe for FPs - their bottles are labelled as such and Ive been using them in my pens for years.🙂

My bad - my only Robersons now are metallics (our local art store stopped stocking them for some reason). I didn't know the penman range were FP safe - and I like some of the historic colours very much.

Diplomat Lilac Ink?
Pennonia Orgona Lilac?
Diamine 150th Lilac Night?

[mizgeorge]

Diplomat Lilac Ink?
Pennonia Orgona Lilac?
Diamine 150th Lilac Night?

It is called Lilac...

It isn't any of the above, though one of them is from the right country It comes from a specific line of 8 inks.

Schneider Pastel Lilac?

[mizgeorge]

Schneider Pastel Lilac?

That's the one!


Not easy to find yet, but surprisingly pretty little inks, and much more legible than their names or packaging would suggest.

And BP swooped down from baby heaven Bravo

[BayesianPrior]

I feel terrible for swooping in, really I do!

And with further apologies, I drag you back to the mundane world of business inks. I really do like this one though...

Good luck!

Is the Kipling a clue?

If so, I'll try
Krishna Officers Blue Black


If not, maybe

Colorverse Mariner 4 (or perhaps Apollo 11)
Diamine Tchaikovsky

[Yazeh]

BP, I'm glad you swooped in. Good one mizgeroge.

Sailor Chushu /Shimoyo?

Kipling was not a clue, but it was apt because I wrote the sample with my new Ranga pen.

It is not Officer, Mariner, nor Composer.

Sailor Chushu /Shimoyo?

Not/neither that one/either of them.

Not GvFC. And to the best of my knowledge, not an iron-gall.

Am I right in NOT seeing any red sheen?
