Ha! I thought you might have fun with this one - it's very different to the others, and I really enjoy it. It varies a lot on different paper as well :) 

 

Thanks for another flex special review (not to mention the earworm, which will be with me for days!)

Interesting that you say it’s a very wet ink. The one I tried is the driest ink I’ve ever experienced… There is possibly some batch variation?

It was my understanding that when purchasing TM inks directly there are different wetness levels to choose from.

That is certainly an interesting color ink.  I might need to try a sample of it at some point to see what I think of it.

Thanks for the review.  And, well... not....

Absolutely!! Thank you for providing the fun! And I'm happy Depeche Mode will be with you for a little while...I'm just spreading the news around the world, hehe! :D

I'm sorry, I have no comparison ink batch to compare it to. 😕

Oh wow...I didn't know that!
I've been trying to buy some of their inks for months...but fate has kicked me in the nads time and time again.
Either I run out of fun-money when some become available...or I have the money and no inks are availble for purchase (like right now) worldwide.

Another great one @Detman101. :thumbup:

 

And that song! Brings so much fond memories....I especially loved the cover by Johnny Cash...haunting... :)

Hahaaaa....awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed the review AND the great song. Out of all the bands I've seen, heard and experienced....Depeche Mode is my heart.

Hahahaaa...it's ok, everyone won't like Depeche Mode. 😆
Glad you liked the review though. This ink is really pretty and I really REALLY liked how the lavender shading is so present in the ink with every stroke.
I really want to buy bottles of troublemaker inks (when I can find ANY for sale), they have the methodology of "Chromo-Shading" absolutely PERFECTED!!!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
