    I have selected the pens I'm going to use. Lamy Studio - F; Wing Sung 3008 - M and TWSBI Diamond 580 - 1.1 italicish. I might add a dip pen nib or 3 to the tests and reviews.

    Tracking shows my owl has transited through and left Heathrow so it's making decent progress so far. Fingers crossed

    My owl arrived today and looks like he is in need of some remedial flying lessons, had a <redacted color> puddle in my bag but luckily looks like I have enough for the tests, it's going to be a lot of <redacted color/colors> testing, can't wait to see everyone's wonderful works.

    Thank you again junglejim

    They now be on microscope slides and smears on swatch cards. I'm trying to decide which pens to use - decided not to do EFNIRs until I had the names.

    #50 went into a Cross Wanderlust Malta, F

    At least one of these looks really cool under the microscope! Care to guess which?

    49 & 50 (white lid) were completely ok. However, 49, "blue lid" was a bit spiteful of the 48 and gushed a bit all over
    But in the end it was a tempest in a teapot

    Thanks Yazeh. So that's 3/6 Blue Cap failures so far. We'll have to see how Chrissy's packet fares. I will ask if the Seller will accept a return since I bought a dozen 10- vial packs (Blue Cap.) The White Caps are what's left of a big Goulet Pens order from 3 years ago.

    I just checked RM tracking and my packet is at our local delivery office. So all being well it should be delivered today. Fingers crossed.

    Edited to add: Now safely delivered with no leaks. Thank you junglejim. My guess that one was blue turned out to be right.

    Does this mean we can post pictures? So far, I only have swatch and chromatogram pictures, and have discovered that these inks don't like to be scanned or photographed! Oh, and one of them looks a bit different depending on the paper it's on.
