I haven't really dabbled with mixing inks, but I think that I need to, especially for the colors that I can't imagine using a whole bottle of, like the bottle of J. Herbin Rouge Bourgogne that my girlfriend has ditched for Noodler's Cactus Fruit Eel (gorgeous, and highly recommended). <br /><br />Nice work on this!

After I discovered that chart and the 5 Noodler's colors (CMYK + W) which are mixable, all anxiety vanished.<br /><br />Platinum also has a series of inks intended for mixing. The series is called "Mix-Free".<br /><br />My next mix is likely to be Navajo Turquoise and Shah's Rose because I got a sample of the latter.Peninkcillinhttp://peninkcillin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-71445343435336629802011-06-07T08:46:41.186-07:002011-06-07T08:46:41.186-07:00Yea, I guess Noodlers wouldn't be to happy.

The ones that...Oh yeah, many inks behave like that. The ones that do are usually made up from 2 colors (or who know, more). One example is Noodler's Polar Brown. A drop on a paper towel will clearly show the components separating. In this case there's a strong orange component which feathers towards the exterior. Same thing happens when the ink bleeds through. The orange component shows first.Peninkcillinhttp://peninkcillin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-90797431034362876462011-06-07T05:25:15.459-07:002011-06-07T05:25:15.459-07:00I was so sure I'd never monkey around with the...I was so sure I'd never monkey around with the dangers of mixing; but now I think it might be the next new adventure.

I think it was Navajo turquoise and Diamine Deep Magenta. I can't exactly remember though.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!

In the case of one of my blue-blacks (the V-Mail one, if I remember correctly) the blue will pull away from the black under certain circumstances. I noticed it when I was cleaning out a pen that had used it: the paper towel had a black splotch with a bright blue ring around it. I didn't notice anything under normal writing conditions.<br /><br />It would be a neat effect if it could be controlled.Ron Hockmanhttp://www.facebook.com/ronhockmannoreply@blogger.com
