This is a follow-up to https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/gallery/image/16640-chromatography-of-troublemaker-inks-colour-in-question/. I would like to acknowledge and express my appreciation of the great customer service I received from Troublemaker Inks. Gab sent me a replacement bottle of Milky Ocean as promised, by DHL Express service to Australia no less. It had crossed my mind to ask for a sample of Foxglove straight from the source for comparison, since it was suggested by others that the bottle of ink I got from Cult Pens was likely to be Foxglove that was inadvertently mislabelled; but somehow I neglected to do so. To my utter surprise and delight, Gab also sent me a full bottle of Foxglove in the package, even when I failed to ask for a sample! That's truly going above and beyond. As it turned out, the ink I had on hand is neither Foxglove nor Milky Ocean, according to… everything, including chromatography. The colours of the ink clinging to the cap liner of each bottle are different, the colours that I can see through the plastic walls of the bottles are different, and all three inks rendered differently on the page as well. The chromatograms indicated that Foxglove and Milky Ocean are closer to each other, than my bottle of ink is to either of them.

This is the scanned image of the artefacts in this photo:

I have a bottle of Troublemaker ink that is clearly labelled Milky Ocean on the cap, but writes more violet than blue on any paper I've tried. There is some doubt as to whether it's actually Milky Ocean, or actually something else in a mislabelled bottle. I showed the photos and scans to Gab at Troublemaker Inks, who then asked for chromatography of the ink I have. Gab opined that it looks like Milky Ocean but couldn't be sure (that it wasn't a mislabelled bottle), and so is sending me a new bottle of Milky Ocean.
