Waterman Absolute Brown (aka Havana) from the review by Intensity.jpeg
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Some of Mercian’s inks
Waterman Havana (now known as Absolute Brown). I have taken this photo from this review of this ink that was made for FPN by Intensity. I have ‘borrowed’ it in order to illustrate how very ‘maroon’ (rather than ‘brown’) this ink can appear to be.

Waterman Havana (aka Absolute Brown) ‘chromatography’.jpeg
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Some of Mercian’s inks
This is a photo of what was left on the kitchen towel when I was wicking plain water through a pen to try to flush out the remnants of its fill of Waterman Havana (aka Absolute Brown). This is, clearly, not an example of ‘proper’ chromatography, but it does show the preponderance of the magenta/pink dye component in this ink. I am trying to justify my description of this ink’s colour as ‘maroon’, rather than ‘brown’.

Waterman Havana (aka Absolute Brown) and Diamine Chocolate Brown.jpeg
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Some of Mercian’s inks
A photo of the scrawl in my ink-testing book. This is a comparison of Diamine Chocolate Brown (top) with Waterman Havana (nowadays sold as Absolute Brown) underneath. At the bottom of the frame is some text in Parker Penman Mocha. My intent in this photo is to illustrate how ‘maroon’ the Havana appears to be.

Here is Waterman Brown (I hate the name "Absolute Brown"). It's one of my favorite brown inks. It's well behaved, has an attractive and subtle green sheen when it's laid on thick, it's cheap, and it's widely available. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/tJhMPS.jpg
