Metzger Und Mendle Turquoise

[bioluminescentsquid]

I won this ink in a PIF by the kind dfo. I do not know much else about this ink, except that it is from Germany.

I'm on the edge with this ink. I like how it shades and even sheens (a bright pink) on nice papers, but detest how it becomes flat and leans green (something I detest in blue inks) when used on lesser papers. It is quite a wet ink, so there is bleed on the worst of papers, but no feathering. I noted no water resistance.

The pen is the Conklin 2NL with a platinum nib, like usual

I really like this splash.

Daiso notebook - you can see some of the sheen in the edges of the smudge. It is much brighter in real life though, and is quite stunning.

I must thank dfo for PIFing this ink one again. I appreciate your kindness!
Here is the PIF that I won it in, just for some additional information.

I'm not blue turquoise fan but I appreciate your work. Best.

Thanks for the review. Not at all a bad blue-turquoise -- or ? -- turquoise-blue.

Also good to get to meet a new ink company. Never heard of them. Sure sounds like a German name (or two) but their ink bottles remind me of Pelikan's, right off the bat.
