Ink Review: Sbre Brown Manufactured By Diamine For Akkerman

[lapis]

 

I remember from one of his videos he explained the origin of each of the names that comprise his name; instead of searching for it I looked for his "Curriculum Vitae" & found Dr. (SBRE) Brown is: "Stephen Brendan Ronald Erik Brown."

Well, thank you very much for that kind advice. No, I didn't know (otherwise I'd not have asked) and I've not even tried to find out what SBRE means. I don't have the ink and wasn't interested in getting it. Akkerman is a completely different story and one that's (at least for me) more interesting. I don't think that anybody -- even one of us moderators -- knows who manufactures Akkerman inks (to nail down Post #14).

So glad you have been able to confirm that this is made by Diamine.

I did make certain of the facts before I wrote the review, but it turned out to not be necessary as Stephen confirms it himself.

Chrissy, this is a very good review. Thank you.

Recently got one of the larger bottles of this. Your review is spot on and an enjoyable read. Really like this ink.

I have a video review of this ink here:
Spoiler alert: I really like it.

I do not have the ability to write a full review of this ink, but I can say that I like it very much. C. S.

I like this ink, but the ink in the bottle I bought can not be considered to be "brown!" the ink in the bottle I bought looks somewhat red. Have any of you had that experience?

[Charles Skinner]

Please ---- somebody tell me what is wrong with the bottle of ink from Akkerman called SBRE BROWN. Two reviews here call it a brown or yellow brown ink. The ink in my bottle is NOT brown. Looking at the bottle, it does look brown. I have used it in two different pens and it IS NOT a brown ink, in my opinion. Something wrong with my eyes? The paper I am using is changing the color?

 

I like the ink and use it often. It is a nice color. It is just not "brown." This is the last time I will trouble you with my eyesight. Sorry if I have "run this into the ground."

What color are you seeing? This ink is on the orange-red side of brown.

[JulieParadise]

Maybe there is some leftover ink in your pen that now discolours your new ink. What did you have in there before, if I may ask?

[Charles Skinner]

Are people calling this a "brown ink" because of the "creator's" last name? The ink that came in MY bottle of this ink seems to be a reddish brown. Certainly not a "brown" ink! ------ I like it, however. --- Has anyone else had this reaction? ---- C. S.

Reddish brown, as you call it, is still brown.

[Charles Skinner]

What us going on here???? At first the ink everybody was calling "brown" was a shade of "red" from my bottle. NOW. TODAY the same ink looks light brown! Go figure. Was the ink in my bottle just not mixed up as it should have been? The strangest ink mystery I have ever experienced! C. S.

Have you shaken the bottle a bit (after the first couple of drawing from it if it doesn't have much space under the cap when new)?
