guess the ink!

[Pterodactylus]

Leonardo Blue?

Interesting ink, but unfortunately also not the one we are looking for. 🎉

[Darla]

Akkerman 05 Shocking Blue
Akkerman Delftsblauw
KWZ Sheen Machine (1)
Iroshizuku Kon Peki

[Darla]

Of course there's also Akkerman 06 Binnenhof Blues and Akkerman 03 Akkerman Blauw...

[Darla]

Ferris Wheel Press Jelly Bean Blue?

[Pterodactylus]

Akkerman 05 Shocking Blue
Akkerman Delftsblauw
KWZ Sheen Machine (1)
Iroshizuku Kon Peki

Kon Peki does not shade that dramatically.
Also not the Akkerman inks.
Sheen Machine looks interesting, but unfortunately I don’t own it.


Keep the guesses coming. 😁

KWZ Azure #3?

Of course there's also Akkerman 06 Binnenhof Blues and Akkerman 03 Akkerman Blauw...

Ferris Wheel Press Jelly Bean Blue?

I own Binnenhof Blues, but as said imho no Akkerman ink shades that much.

Jelly Bean, also nice, but not that one either. 😳

KWZ Azure #3?

I own Azure #4, also a nice one, but I don’t own #3……..

[Darla]

That electric blue undertone is a tough one!

How about another Pennonia that's an even better shader, I think, but it may have too much sheen: Kékfény (Blue Light)?

I learn a bunch of interesting inks today, but it is also not this one.

And just to mention it, the unknown ink has also sheen.

I even have taken a sheen photo, but I didn’t wanted to make it too easy for you…. As you are merciless ink guessers. 😈

Let me know when you need a little help, then I will post a sheen photo….. 😏

I also have quite a bit of flow issues with it. Do you happen to have any suggestions for lowering the viscosity without actually diluting it with water, mizgeorge?

Have you tried a bit of flow aid, or perhaps a little Callifolio Dilutant?

As for pinkish inks that might work, Papier Plume Garden District Azalea is a favourite, as is Robert Oster Pinky, or Schneider Blush, as well as Standardgraph Mallow red.


Now, back to the blues (fabulous script and drawing - thank you Ptero!)

Diamine Ruby Blues

Oh, I'll have to check out those pinks! Thanks for the tips.

I don't have any flow aid - never heard of that before, but it may be worth getting some. Most of my inks are relatively wet though, so this is the first time I have come across anything like this. I did remember some suggestions on other fora about adding the tiniest bit of dishwashing liquid with the tip of a toothpick, so I just tried that in the F nib that I was trying it with before and it seems to have worked so far. It's at least now sloshing around in the converter instead of sticking at one end. I've just started testing it but it does - so far - look as if it may help even up the flow. I'm assuming that a flow aid would do the same thing, so I will definitely look into that!

Change your pen. Some inks behave dramatically different in other pens. When I test new inks, I fill several pens. Sometimes I wouldn't know it's the same ink!

KWZ Standard Walks Over Vistula?
Robert Oster Soda Pop Blue? Oster Blue Water Ice? Lake of Fire?
Califolio BLeu Equionx?

I tried it in 6 different pens today and 3 yesterday... (And several from previous rotations as well and it's only ever behaved poorly...) The toothpick-tip of dishwashing liquid does seem to be helping with the viscosity now though. So I'm thinking I must have just got a bad batch somehow.

Diamine Bue Velvet?

@Darla... I'M so sorry about that. Why not write to the company and tell them about it...also sometimes leaving the pens alone for a couple of day might help. I'm out of ideas otherwise

[Yazeh]

Robert Oster Australis Hydra? True blue? Flaming blue?
Califolio Omi osun?

[DrPenfection]

So I will go out on a limb and suggest DeAtramentis Steel Blue
