Do You Want To Be An Ink Tester?

[amberleadavis]

Hey, I've sent them... well, not blue diamond, I haven't mixed that one up yet.

[amberleadavis]

A message from Susemai...

 

 

Just about mixing:

Batch A and C should be fine mixed together.

Batch B and D should be fine mixed together.

A and C are one dye group and B and D are another dye group so there could be unpredictable results.

Batches A and B are pretty much conventional formulas with the normal additives in the normal amounts..

Batches C and D contain a lesser number of additives and smaller amounts of the additives, but all batches use the same additives.

But I've also just discovered that there are groups within groups and families within families of these dyes.

I'm pretty sure they won't explode and the worst that could happen is that they may congeal or clump or change colour in time. Probably most of the weird things that happen when mixing different brands of inks are due to incompatibilities with the additives more so than the dyes.

This pic was taken with natural light (although a bit cloudy)...

I've had this blend in my pen now for 3 days with no problems.

Suffice to say, if possible, I would love to help beta test inks. I am not sure if the Arizona temperatures will cause issues with the ink, though...

 

Please let me know what information you need, and thank you!

I"m in Las Vegas so I wouldn't think your test is that much worse.

 

Just read the directions on the first posts and then PM me you address. You'll be on the next list. You will need to sign up on the individual thread for each ink.

Sinistral1 is going to take over the logistics. I've decided that we are going to move to padded envelopes and mail all the remaining samples out in a single mailing.

 

Here is the cost break down. BTW, ink is Blue Cashmere.

50 pipettes remaining ÷ 9 remaining colors = 5.5 lucky testers?

[amberleadavis]

Oh, no, 50 lucky testers. Each lucky tester gets 9 inks. Though I may include a sample of another ink to make it 10.

Where do I sign up?

I've sent these out at 16% and 8% - add a line here to tell Susemai if you prefer 16% or 8% when you receive the samples. I had thought you'd prefer receiving 16% then you can play more with dilution.
