guess the ink!

[mizgeorge]

Is it all the rest are to do with the cold except purple bow?

No - and it's not Purple Bow

Good guess though!

[Obi-Wan Penobi]

The four on the edges are standard Diamine inks and the one in the middle is a store specific one? Pure Pens? Cult Pens?

Very much closer....

[DrPenfection]

I think that the upper right one is a regular ink or perhaps a store specific and the other four at Shimmertastic inks.

[DrPenfection]

or perhaps the outside four are regular Diamine inks and the center one is something they have recently come up with and is in either the Inkvent Calendar or something they have added to a store.

Of course, I could be way out in left field on both of these guesses.

[Obi-Wan Penobi]

The bottom right is a Cult pens ink (Diamine Philip, I think).

[mizgeorge]

This could turn into one of those "Ink A says Ink B's a liar" sort of puzzles...

There are no Shimmertastics in this picture.

Sorry, no.

[mizgeorge]

The bottom right is a Cult pens ink (Diamine Philip, I think).

Phillip has a bronze sheen. This one is very definitely green.

[DrPenfection]

Is it possible that all but the upper right is a Diamine ink and the upper right is Akkerman Shocking Blue? I may be reaching here.

[DrPenfection]

I just re-read mizgeorge's responses and had a thought. Could it be that the 4 surrounding inks are from the Inkvent Blue Edition and the one in the center if from this year's Red Edition? (I haven't peaked at mine, so this is really a wild guess.)

They are all Diamine Branded inks (regardless of whether they make Akkerman's or not!)

There are no ink splats here from this year's Red Edition. I don't have it, and I'm not getting it!

Do I detect a note of anger there, or is it frustration, or is it disappointment at the Blue?

I will leave this one to the inksperts here. It's back to work for me.

No, not at all - the Blue was fun, but I found I ended up just buying big bottles of the ones I really liked and have barely touched many of the others. This year, I looked at the swatches and realised that there were no more than five or six that really appealed, and it would make more sense to just get the larger sizes when/if they come out later.

I'll leave you all with a clue - just to make it a bit (well 20%) easier.

The odd one out is NOT the middle splat

[kelly41]

Are 4 of them Iridescink inks and 1 isn't?

[mizgeorge]

Are 4 of them Iridescink inks and 1 isn't?

None of them are Iridescinks!

You do have one of the connections though - all are sheening inks, but not from the iridescink range.

[Yazeh]

Is the one in lower left, A Night In Jodhpur?

[mizgeorge]

Is the one in lower left, A Night In Jodhpur?

It isn't - but the one in the top right is geographically rather close to it

And you're very definitely heading in the right direction now!

[Yazeh]

Is the top left Kong Girls?

[Yazeh]

Is it correct to assume that four of these inks believe to the Far East market and the odd one out belongs to the European market?
Is the middle one: Diamine Jalur Gemilang ?
