Mystery Inks #60, 61, and 62

[junglejim]

Summer Solstice has long passed and the daylight is slowly getting shorter. Winter is Coming! (I know this because I am receiving emails to Pre-order the Diamine Inkvent 2024 Black Edition.)

So this must mean it's now time for the next Mystery Inks series. Mystery Inks is now open to FPG veterans, n00bs, newbies, and lurkers. You volunteer, I send free ink, you write with it and post your thoughts and observations. Guessing is welcome, but not required. There is nothing to "win" aside from perhaps personal satisfaction that you recognized it. No guess is confirmed until the mystery ink is finally revealed. The point of the Mystery Ink threads is an unbiased review. Fear not about the quality of your handwriting or sketching abilities. We don't care. We are all appreciative of those with the gift of artistic ability, but how well you draw or write doesn't impact your ability to test an ink and provide your opinion on it.

I will act as the Procurer, Packer, and Post Office Porter. This ink flight will consist of 1 packet containing 3 inks, each vial filled with 3mls of Mystery Ink labeled MI-60, MI-61, and MI-62. There will be 9 packets available and only 2 of the packets will be for overseas participants due to the high cost of postage ( US$18.50 ). If you are international, please let me know. If there are more sign-ups for overseas participants than slots, then I will run a Random Number Generator to pick. As per past tradition, if you are brand new to Mystery Ink you will have a Priority Spot!

The inks in this ink flight are dye based, not pigmented, no shimmer and not iron gall. I don’t use any of the Noodler’s Bay State inks, so there won’t be any in the ink flights I send out.

Post below if you would like to volunteer to receive a free ink flight. I'll leave this open until 12 Noon PDT Tuesday August 20th.

All the Best.

I just have to copy that great post by Fred,
Me Me Me Me!!!

but will qualify it to say only if I'm not stealing a newbie spot.

[Yazeh]

Thanks @Jungle Jim. I'm in. But if there's anyone new, give them my place

All the Best.

I thought Lithium was part of it?

Lithium was kind enough to thank me in his message. If he would like to have his name added to the list I will be more than happy to. Please let me know, Lithium.

Oh I just wanted to thank you, the international spots are taken already

So, it's not late

Nah, I would feel bad for other participants, and I am terrible at reviewing inks (and taking pictures)

...I am terrible at reviewing inks (and taking pictures)

So am I, but it's a fun thing to do and it's at least as much fun for junglejim to share his inknatious bounty.

In the past I have received two sets of samples from junglejim to the UK and sent one set to the other UK participant myself. As you and Yazeh live fairly close to each other, and already swap samples, then Yazeh could volunteer to accept two sets and pass on one set to you. Then everyone wins and junglejim doesn't need to mail out three international packages.

Works fine with me. Are you "officially" in, Lithium? 3 hours until this Mystery Inks set closes.

[junglejim]

Mystery Inks sign-ups are now Closed.

We have:

International -- Chrissy, Yazeh/Lithium466 (if he wants to participate?)
US -- FredRyder

I am currently away from home but will be back late Wednesday to begin processing and packaging the inks. I will let the participants know when the ink packets are mailed out.

All the Best.

My mailbox awaits....
