    One of the participants PM'd me before I began preparing the ink packets that there was a time conflict and cancelled. The other participant's US ink packet is still traveling and will be delivered soon.

    Mystery 63

    Reddish brown ink.
    Gorgeous chroma
    Chroma 63.jpeg
    Shading with Dry pen, Lamy Safari M & B nib.
    With a wet pen shading disappears.

    Long dry times on Rhodia (20s or more) that's bad news for Japanese paper
    Feathering, woolly lines, plus the usual ghosting & bleed through on copy paper.

    Pens used Pilot F3A Ef with a bouncy soft flex nib and Lamy Safari.

    Comparison & water test come next week.
    Plus I need to clean/ empty the rest of my Safari's for 64 /65.

    Also 63 stuck to my finger and needed a nice pumice to scrub it off.

    So far I've filled 3 Lamy pens and written with these inks in my Seven Seas Writer journal that contains Tomoe River 58gsm paper.
    Starting with MI#63 it writes perfectly on this paper. Wet and smooth with beautiful shading. What a great ink! Other examples to follow.

    I've also written with mI#63 on my Rhodia 80gsm clic bloc pad of paper. It took me months to get this one after my previous one ran out but I like the pad idea.

    Lubrication suffered compared with how good it is on Tomoe River paper but otherwise I still like this ink.

    I just finished doing the basic reviewing of #64.
    It's difficult to define. It's a green chameleon ink. It's varies from mint green/teal to dark green. It is very sensitive to paper/pen/ nib combo.
    It's a very wet ink. Lubrication is slightly below average. Colour is lovely when wet but sort of dries blandly.
    Shading varies from non existent to subtle to extreme depending pen/paper combo.

    I disliked writing with a B nib. It was like driving on ice with summer tires (tyres ).
    I haven't tried it in a really wet pen. I don't know how it'll behave.

    Dry times are very long on Rhodia. So think above 50 minutes on Japanese paper.
    It doesn't like copy paper, it'll ghost and bleed its heart through
