    That is way nicer than MY chroma. 👍🏻
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    Maybe, I left it for too long. I did both chromes together and forgot them for an hour. Maybe that's the reason

    I should do mine that way from now on. All I got looked like a single pigment.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    My little sneak peek kind of gave it away, but that is a nice chroma I will post mine when everyone is ready, i always do the line on a coffee filter and let water draw up through the line, I don't know if it's a great way to do it it's just a way I saw some tutorial videos online do it.

    It always surprises me with every ink just how much black is in it

    I never leave my chroma tests for very long at all. Just enough so that the water level is showing all of the colours. I don't leave the shelf where I hang them in case they get too wet.

    I always wait until I see capillary action pulling water just past the line I make then I hang it to let the capillary action finish but I might try it a few ways this time

    Finally I received my samples today in perfect condition.
    Jim you did a good packaging job.
    Thanks again for sending me the inks and hosting the game. 👍

    I did not inked it up yet but I would say:

    Game On 😀

    Thank you junglejim, once again you have us off on a most enjoyable quest! Mystery Ink #32 is such a true green it might be called Christmas Tree Green (unless of course you have one of those trendy silver aluminum ones). I found this ink to be quite wet as you will see from the dry times and the overnight splatters that still smeared on me the next day. Do note I live in the Extremely Humid Right Now Pacific Northwest so that might have something to do with extended dry times. Here we go on a couple different standard papers:

    Rhodia 80 g/m2 from a Dot Pad:


    Tomoe River 52 g/m2:


    Green is my second favorite ink color so I have a lot of them. But I didn’t find much in my collection that was as pure green as this. Color swatch “matches” for our Mystery #32:


    Chromograph: we learned in grade school that yellow and blue make green. Talk about pure green – yellow and blue are the only colors I can pick out in this one!


    Shadowing and bleed-through were minor on both papers:


    ..but slightly more on the Tomoe


    What a wonderful experiment – hopefully my amateur science experiments will help someone get on the right guessing track.

    Everyone's chroma is better than mine!

    Oh, and PS, I was compelled to do these together. Compelled!








    It took three tries for me to load the green. Probably my fault.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    Well done, all of you.

    As I don´t want to bedazzle you some initial writing for the beginning.


    Quote Albert Einstein by Ptero Pterodactylus on DeviantArt

    (Montblanc 342 - EF ..... Mystery Ink #32 provided by Junglejim on FPGeeks)

    The green shades quite ok, to be honest green is not my all time favorite color, but this is nice.
    I will try to do a little bit more testing this evening.

    I just had some minutes to compare MI#32 with green inks of my arsenal.

    And the first time ever over the MI rounds I participated I own a ink which is imho a nearly 100% color match.
    If MI#32 isn’t that ink I would call it a clone (at least color wise)

    The question is, would you like to see my comparison swatches now or at the end of the MI#32 testing (not to influence your testing)?


    Update:

    Looking closer my comparison ink shows beside the color some sheen, which I do not see yet on MI#32.
    Did anybody noticed sheen so far on MI#32?
    .....hmmm..... not 100% sure now anymore it is the same ink

    No. I noticed no sheen. And I tried it on Tome River

    I just saw that ptero got the samples and everyone started posting so I'm a little late but I will get caught up on everything.

    My writing isn't as neat as I wanted, my anxiety was through the roof when I wrote this.

    It looks like it's a little more drab green than the noodlers green. I will post my chroma test as soon as I get back home I have to try to do a new one I messed up the first 2 that I did. And I will write on some other papers that I have and hopefully be able to get good enough light to get good pictures of them.
