guess the ink!

[Pterodactylus]

Time to give you some kickstart.



And a close up:



Hint:

What you can see is not sheen.
Agreed the effect is quite subtile (on Clairefontaine) but it´s noticable if you look close.

Noodler's Baltimore canyon blue?

[Pterodactylus]

Noodler's Baltimore canyon blue?

Nope, also not a Noodlers ink.

In fact it is not a us made ink.


..... but still a few makers left to try.

[Pterodactylus]

Come on guys, is it really too hard?

Where are all your guesses?

Don´t be shy.

Here is my last hint, but this is a hint given with a baseball bat.
So now it should be quite easy.
My latest ink painting, it got quite wet so it is almost kind of abstract.
Notice that this was done with only one ink, the ink to be guessed, but due to it´s multi-chromatic nature the multiple colors inside this blue ink show up when washed dramatically.

Inkebara Midnight Blue

I love this thread, there is always a ink or even a ink manufacturer referenced that I was not aware off yet.

Thanks for this guess, that ink looks interesting.

But no it is not a Inkebara ink.

[Pterodactylus]

Berlin Notebook Blue No1 white label.

And another ink manufacturer I did not know yet.

No also not a Berlin Notebook ink.

Keep the guesses coming. 👍

[Pterodactylus]

Ok another hint.

Currently this ink was never reviewed on FPG.

Blue inks are very hard, because there are so many of them and then you have to take into account the nib and feed and paper and...ugh. Considering the shading, is it a montblanc ink? Perhaps the ultramarine? Or starwalker? Or elvis presley?

True, blues are hard.

No it is not a Montblanc ink either.

Hint:
Think about a quite new multi-chromatic ink from also a quite new ink manufacturer.
