Toucan Umber

[white_lotus]

Toucan is an Australian ink producer, I think they mostly distribute the inks in pouches to save on shipping which is expensive in Australia. Also reminiscent of those marsupials that roam around their country

 

Umber is an interesting and unusual brown. Totally not waterfast at all. The least waterfast I've found.

 

 

 

Not waterfast at all, and doesn't even leave much ink behind in the wash.

 

The most interesting aspect of the ink is its unusual dye mix.

My favourite Toucan ink. It's complex and interesting.

Interesting. Who stocks it in the US?

This looks very nice. I had a sample of Sienna awhile back and liked it quite a bit -- nice inks.

Thanks for the great review. Gotta get this one. A good example of a colour I love... e.g. a brown not made up of a mix of a dye or two of browns but out of those "primary" colours I myself would mix to get that far....

 

... duh

Anderson Pens has samples and the 60 ml pouches.
