I will check mine but wow that darkening is really interesting.
But anyway... It is time for the reveal...
I found this ink before picking up the MI series and was interested for a few reasons. First, I like dark red inks, second I like inks that cost $7 / 30ml — or $6 for a 12 pack of international short cartridges. Lastly, it is from a local seller here in the Denver area.
When selecting for MI#24, I thought it would be fun for folks to get a little something from my home state, even if the ink itself is made in Germany by an unknown manufacturer.
As a bonus, it seemed unlikely that anyone had tried it, unless it is a known ink that has been rebranded. I am extremely curious to know which ink Chrissy found with the same chromatography results.
You can get this ink on ebay along with others from the series in the basic colors. And although the Mile High City is not known for vineyards, Colorado does produce wines, and the brand, 5280, produces this ink:
5280 Vineyard Burgundy Red.
The bottles come unlabeled so I made a crummy label for it.
This has been a really fun MI for me, leaked ink aside, and I am glad the ink isn't a total dud.
Stay tuned for MI#25 coming soon.
By the way, I will resend a few more ml of #25 to to my overseas friends once I have selected a more reliable method of bottling and sealing.
